On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 71st of 71 of the 71 attacking midfielders in the J3 League. At 37 Kurata is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4 goals in 25 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
With a Rating of 7.4, Kurata carries the 71st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League of 71. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 37, Kurata sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kurata's projected Rating — 7.4 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.
