Scout report
A. Kawazura is a 32-year-old central defender at Mito Hollyhock, rated 15 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kawazura.
On the season, Kawazura graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.172 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 2). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 32 Kawazura is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Mito Hollyhock finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17% 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
Rated 15 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
