Comment from Naoto Moriyama:

Thank you very much for your tremendous support and encouragement this season!
I will be playing for the Tokushima Gambarous again for the 2026-27 season!
I am very happy to be able to play as a member of the Tokushima Gambarous again next season.

Although the results of the regular season were not necessarily bad, it was a frustrating season as we lost in the first round of the playoffs where we fought to win the B3 championship.
I think next season will be an even tougher battle with the league's transformation. I will do my best to contribute to the team's victory, using the frustration of this season as motivation. I ask for your continued support!!

Go! Go!
Gambarous!!

The thought behind 'Tokushima Gambarous': The 'Gambarou' in 'Gambarous' comes from the word 'Ganbarou,' which means 'Let's do our best!' It's a word that everyone says casually when tackling something, regardless of success, failure, victory, or defeat. By including this slogan of mutual encouragement and recognition in the club name, we hope to grow into a club that fosters a sense of unity and is cheered on by everyone, young and old, making people feel 'glad to have it in Tokushima.'
