K. Sugimoto is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Omiya Ardija, rated 13.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 789th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sugimoto.
Judged on this season alone, Sugimoto graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 101st of 130 of the 130 centre-forwards in the J3 League, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.176 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 114th of 130 of the 130 centre-forwards in the J3 League. At 33 Sugimoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2 goals in 12 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
With a Rating of 13.9, Sugimoto carries the 114th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 130 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× 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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 33, Sugimoto sits on 3.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sugimoto's projected Rating — 13.9 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.
