2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 11.2, Morikawa carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kamatamare Sanuki finished 19th 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 (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
