Comment from Kohei Fukuzawa I have returned after three years. I am grateful to the Ibaraki Robots for welcoming me back. I am happy to be able to fight for the Ibaraki Robots once again. I will work hard from the start to become a player who can be cheered on by everyone. Thank you for your support.

Comment from GM Yoshihisa Ochiai We are pleased to announce that we have agreed to a new player contract with Kohei Fukuzawa for the 2026-27 season. We are very happy that a player who is essential to the history of the Ibaraki Robots will once again wear the Robots uniform and fight with us. Like the entire club and many fans and boosters, I myself cannot hide my excitement and joy.

Fukuzawa's greatest weapons are his instantaneous speed to cut through defenses and his high-percentage 3-point shots that can find the rim from even the toughest situations. However, what he has cultivated over these past few years at Alvark Tokyo, one of the league's strongest teams, is not just the numbers on the stat sheet. It is thorough discipline, intense defense, and the winning mentality of what it means to be a professional in order to win. I am confident that his presence, having returned tougher than ever, will add a strong core to the Robots.

This offseason, we have been reviewing our roster from scratch and pursuing reforms in all areas, including increasing size, to become a team that is obsessed with winning and worthy of being the 'Pride of Ibaraki.' With the addition of Fukuzawa's overwhelming outside threat and experience, I am confident that we can play the basketball we aim for.

Precisely because Fukuzawa supported Ibaraki Robots' promotion to B1 and knows the passion of this city, he should become the spiritual pillar of the team heading towards 'B.PREMIER' and lead the team. We ask for a thunderous welcome at the arena for Kohei Fukuzawa, who will fight with the determination to give his all for Ibaraki once again.
