Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.8, Kokubu carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
