Scout report
M. Okazaki is a 27-year-old central defender at Kagoshima United, rated 20.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 151st of 300 on scout potential in the J3 League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Okazaki.
Judged on this season alone, Okazaki graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 71 of the 71 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 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 35th of 71 of the 71 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 27 Okazaki is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kagoshima United finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.8, Okazaki carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 71 — 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.
