Clean sheets

2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37, Kuwasaki carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
