On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 194th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Okaniwa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~18), then tapers with age. At 31, Okaniwa sits on 8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Okaniwa's projected Rating — 23.4 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.
