Y. Takahashi is a 33-year-old central defender at Shimizu S-pulse, rated 14.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 778th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Takahashi.
Judged on this season alone, Takahashi graded 16 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.645 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 182nd of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 33 Takahashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Takahashi missed 4 games through injury (cruciate ligament) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 14.7, Takahashi carries the 182nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th 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 (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 33, Takahashi sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Takahashi's projected Rating — 14.7 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.
