■Comment from the person in question
"I have decided to transfer to Tochigi SC on a permanent basis. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the approximately 10 years I have played for this club, which I have admired since I was a child, including my time in the academy. However, I am truly sorry that I could not meet everyone's expectations. The decision to leave GAMBA OSAKA was not easy. I agonized over it many times, but after repeatedly asking myself what I should do and what I wanted to do, I arrived at this decision. I have nothing but gratitude for the Gamba players, Head Coach, coaches, staff, and the world's best fans and supporters. GAMBA OSAKA Osaka will always be my favorite club in the world. I will work hard so that I can return to GAMBA OSAKA someday. Thank you so much for the past 10 years!"
