Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.5, Shintani carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kochi United finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
