📝 Bio: I grew up playing football and watching the J.League as well as Italian football in the 1990s. Since 2017, I have been working for GOAL Japan, where I primarily cover European football. I also have an academic background in sports medicine, which informs my perspective on the game.

My Football Story: I followed Verdy Kawasaki, especially King Kazu, when I started watching the J.League. I played football from elementary school through my university years.

🎯 Areas of Expertise: Eurpean Football

🌟 Favourite Footballing Memory: My most important memory from my playing days was participating in the All-Japan Boys’ Football Tournament, which took place at Yomiuri Land——the iconic stage where Tsubasa Ozora faced Kojiro Hyuga’s Meiwa FC in what every Captain Tsubasa fan knows as a legendary match! (laughs)
