We hold a single season for Tanaka, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, top 3% of the 130 centre-forwards in the J3 League. At 21 Tanaka is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 35.7 reflects that trajectory.
9 goals in 16 appearances (0.56 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.
With a Rating of 52.2, Tanaka carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League (top 3%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~40), then tapers with age. At 21, Tanaka sits on 35.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Tanaka's projected Rating — 52.2 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.
