Comment from Koki Kimoto:

"I am pleased to announce my full transfer to Mito HollyHock. Thank you so much for the past four and a half years! Although it was a challenging period with more hardships than successes, living and training daily alongside exceptional players allowed me to learn a great deal. At the same time, I was reminded of my own shortcomings and that my passion for football still has room to grow. I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue playing in the J1 League for the 2026/27 season. I will use the experiences gained during my time at FC Tokyo to strive toward competing against them on the pitch. I look forward to seeing you all at the stadium! Thank you sincerely for all your support!"
