Scout report
M. Kamekawa is a 33-year-old central defender at Renofa Yamaguchi, rated 9.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 188th of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kamekawa.
Judged on this season alone, Kamekawa graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League, on 2 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 5). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 67th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 33 Kamekawa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Renofa Yamaguchi finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 9.5, Kamekawa carries the 67th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
