"I have decided to transfer to Montedio Yamagata on a loan basis. It was a difficult decision to leave Tokyo, where I have been supported since my academy days, but I made this choice to expand my possibilities. I will definitely grow and want to return to Tokyo. Thank you for your continued support."
