- Comments To the veterans of the top team, the staff, and all involved, thank you very much for giving me such a valuable experience as a youth development special quota player. And to all the Evessa fans, thank you so much for your support! Even during youth games, knowing that you were cheering for me gave me the strength to push myself that extra bit further. Every day spent with the top team was stimulating and truly fun. I believe this was the period in my basketball career where I grew the most and learned the most! Starting in April, I will be attending Osaka Gakuin University. I will make the most of what I learned in the youth and top teams, and I will work hard at university so that I can return to Osaka Evessa in the future, play in front of you all, and be a successful player!
