M. Okazaki is a 27-year-old central defender at Kagoshima United, rated 37.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 412th of 874 in the J3 League.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Okazaki.
Judged on this season alone, Okazaki graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 171st of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 2 clean sheets and 1.847 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 90th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 27 Okazaki is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
With a Rating of 37.2, Okazaki carries the 90th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 27, Okazaki sits on 28.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Okazaki's projected Rating — 37.2 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.
