N. Kanuma is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Tokushima Vortis, rated 33.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 483rd of 874 in the J3 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kanuma.
Judged on this season alone, Kanuma graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 192nd of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 139th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 28 Kanuma is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 33.6, Kanuma carries the 139th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 241 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 28, Kanuma sits on 15.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kanuma's projected Rating — 33.6 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.
