Caps & goals this season.
H. Kawabe is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Sanfrecce Hiroshima, rated 34.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 467th of 874 in the J3 League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (91.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kawabe.
Judged on this season alone, Kawabe graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 71 of the 71 attacking midfielders in the J3 League, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 37 appearances (0.145 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 45th of 71 of the 71 attacking midfielders in the J3 League. At 30 Kawabe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Kawabe is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3 goals in 37 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 34.1, Kawabe carries the 45th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League of 71. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~26), then tapers with age. At 30, Kawabe sits on 13, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kawabe's projected Rating — 34.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
