Outlook
With a Rating of 32.8, Tanaka carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League (top 15%), 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.
