On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 152nd of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Kawakami is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 31, Kawakami sits on 8.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kawakami's projected Rating — 25.3 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.
