Takuji YONEMOTO Player Comment

"I have decided to transfer to Nagoya Grampus. I joined Tokyo as a high school graduate and it has been 10 years since then. I have had 3 major injuries and I think there have been more tough times, but thanks to the fans, supporters, teammates, and staff who have supported me, I was able to spend 10 years here."
It was a truly difficult decision, one that I struggled with. I really love this team and sincerely hope for the success of this club. I will challenge myself once again and believe in my potential as I transfer, so I will do my best to make the people of Tokyo think of me as a "hated player".
I cannot express my feelings of gratitude enough in this text alone. I will be joining a different team from now on, but I would be happy if you could continue to support me. Thank you so much for the past 10 years.
