Player Comment First of all, thank you very much for your great support and encouragement during the 2025-26 season. I am grateful to be able to play basketball at this wonderful club again next season.

Over the past two seasons, I have truly felt that we have fought together thanks to the cheers of so many boosters, and I am thankful that you have dyed the venue yellow for every game. Please continue to fight alongside us.

Next season will be my third season, and I will fight with even greater determination than before. I believe there will be various difficulties, but I want to grow so that I can demonstrate my maximum ability and contribute to the team.

Once again, I look forward to your great support and encouragement next season!

Comment from Naoto Ikuoka, Representative Director & President and General Manager Last season, Katsumi further honed his strength, which is his shooting, and saved the team many times. That strength comes from a mental fortitude that never wavers, and I always feel the greatness of Katsumi's professional attitude of getting the job done properly regardless of his condition.

This time, Katsumi has decided to fight for a third season in Kagawa with an extraordinary resolve. He will surely show you all wonderful plays with an even more grown-up version of himself. We appreciate your continued support!
