■ Comments from the person himself/herself
“I have decided to transfer to Vissel Kobe at this time. I am grateful to everyone involved in Gamba Osaka. It may have been a tough season with a one-year relegation battle, but personally I really enjoyed it.It’s definitely thanks to the fans and supporters who made me think so.When I first heard the cheering at Panasta, I feel really glad that I came to this club.I have received so many messages of encouragement in every match and even following the season is over. I’m really glad that Gamba Osaka was the team that made it possible.I think that blue and black suits me a little better.I myself feel that I can still grow as a player.It was a short period, but it was deep, and it was the best for me. I was able to spend a year there. Next time we meet, I would like to play as an opponent, like Mitsuki Saito, and move my heart. Thank you very much.”
