[Player Comment]

2 Hello everyone!! I have been given the opportunity to play for Kumamoto Volters for the 2026-27 season. I think the 2025-26 season was like a roller coaster. There were good things and bad things, and it was a season where I learned many things. I also think that this team proves that it never gives up no matter how difficult the situation is, and I think we have raised the value of the team to another level. However, I think everyone knows that this is not the goal for this team. Towards the B.LEAGUE PREMIER, there are still many areas where we need to step up. If everyone involved in the team, front office, boosters, and sponsors aim higher, I think there is nothing impossible for this Kumamoto Volters team. I said, "I came back to make this team win." I want to fulfill this promise that I couldn't keep in the 2025-26 season in the B.LEAGUE ONE. I think the first champion will be something special, and it will also be a big thing for the future of Kumamoto Volters, so let's aim for the championship together!! Let's go VOLTERS!!
