Outlook

With a Rating of 47, Kimura carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League (top 21%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tokyo Verdy finished 17th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 25, Kimura sits on 12.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kimura's projected Rating — 47 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.
