Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Higashi.
Judged on this season alone, Higashi graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 169th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.936 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 241st of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 35 Higashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances.
With a Rating of 9.7, Higashi carries the 241st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 241 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 35, Higashi sits on 2.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Higashi's projected Rating — 9.7 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.
