WRITING HABIT
He has used writing as way to complement and aid his football training from an early age. "I firstly wrote about training manuals after I participated in training sessions for the team that represented Kagoshima Prefecture [in Japan]. Since then, it became habitual, and now I feel anxious if I don't write anything. I always think about what to write during training. I have been overcoming challenges by practising based on my notes." (sanspo.com, 20 Mar 2020)

JOINING HIROSHIMA
At age 15 he left his family home in Kagoshima, Japan, to join he youth academy at Sanfrecce Hiroshima. "I thought that it was the best environment to concentrate on football among the various clubs [he could have joined]. The ground, the dormitory, and the school were all very good. Even when I consulted various people, Hiroshima youth's reputation was really good." (soccerdigestweb.com, 16 Oct 2019; khgmsrn.com, 22 Jan 2020)
