- Player Statement: Hello everyone, I will be playing for the Kings again for the 2026-27 season. First, thank you for all your support this season. To be honest, this season was not satisfying as I couldn't create many highlights, and I felt a lot of frustration. I will do my absolute best to make next season a satisfying one for both the team and myself. I have never regretted my decision three years ago to jump into the professional world from the industrial league. I am ready to face my fourth year with the same strong determination. Let's continue to liven up Okinawa together! Thank you.
