On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, top 22% of the 28 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 25 Kimura is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Outlook
With a Rating of 48.2, Kimura carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
