Outlook

With a Rating of 11.2, Takano carries the 78th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 96 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 31, Takano sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Takano's projected Rating — 11.2 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.
