Scout report
J. Ichimori is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Gamba Osaka, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 168th of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ichimori.
Judged on this season alone, Ichimori graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 28 of the 28 goalkeepers in the J1 League, on 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 3). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 21st of 28 of the 28 goalkeepers in the J1 League. At 35 Ichimori is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gamba Osaka finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1 clean sheet in 7 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 11.8, Ichimori carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
