Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10. At 36 Higashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 9.7 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).
