1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.78 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.11 goals, 0.68 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Kaneko carries the 5th-highest potential of the wingers in the J1 League of 9 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
