On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 45th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Kai is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · FC Gifu finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 17.8, Kai carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
