Team Statement: We are very happy to continue fighting together with Matsuwaki-senshu next season. He has saved the team multiple times with his defense, where he stands his ground against opposing aces without taking a step back, and his clutch 3-point shots.

Furthermore, we have great trust in his ability to quietly fulfill his duties for the sake of the team's victory. He may not be the type to stand out flashily, but it is precisely because of players like Matsuwaki-senshu that the team can continue to compete at a high level.

Player Statement: Thank you all for your constant support. I am happy to be able to play for the Kings again next season. While I have some anxiety about moving to a new league, my responsibilities remain the same. I will continue to embody the "Kings-style" and fight with all my might to deliver as many victories as possible to everyone. Thank you for your continued warm support!
