Message from the Player Thank you very much for all your support during this short time this season! Although we couldn't win the championship as we aimed, I was happy to play for this team. Thank you for this season!

Message from Naoto Ikuoka, President and General Manager I was truly happy when you made time to meet in Nagoya about three months ago, and when you decided to come to Kagawa after I shared my thoughts with you.

Joining the team in the second half of the season, when the foundation had already been established and we were on a winning streak, must have been very difficult. Even so, you integrated into the team, demonstrated your strengths, and became a presence that brought positive momentum.

Thank you very much for taking on such a difficult role! Your addition to Kagawa at the end truly strengthened the team. I sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
