Scout report
A. Kawazura is a 32-year-old central defender at Nagoya Grampus, rated 17.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 315th of 379 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kawazura.
Judged on this season alone, Kawazura graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 63rd of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.924 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 62nd of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 32 Kawazura is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17.3, Kawazura carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 76, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
