A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (84.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hatanaka.
Judged on this season alone, Hatanaka graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 21 of the 21 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.137 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 11th of 21 of the 21 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 31 Hatanaka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
