Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

T. Kida is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Yokohama F. Marinos, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 26 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 45% of J1 League defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.7, ranking 264th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (60.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kida.

Judged on this season alone, Kida graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.678 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 25). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 39th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 31 Kida is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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 24.7, Kida carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
