Output in context · Kitakyushu finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.33 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.5, Okano carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League (top 16%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kitakyushu finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
