Comments:
I am very happy to be able to fight alongside you all again in the 2026-27 season, the inaugural year of B PREMIER.
I believe the coming season is one where we must deliver 'results.'
First, I want to take the processes we have built with my teammates in Osaka over the past two seasons, value our 'DOG FIGHT' culture, and run towards the CS appearance and the championship beyond it.
The most important purpose of our activities is to provide positive energy to the people in the community through our brand of basketball.
'OSAKA SOUL'—I want to fight together with you all next season and make it a season where Osaka thrives in B PREMIER.
Thank you for your continued support for the 2026-27 season.
