Nakamura is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.2, Nakamura carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 22, Nakamura sits on 2.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Nakamura's projected Rating — 26.2 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.
