Comment from Noboru Hasegawa

This is Noboru Hasegawa, and I will be fighting with you again for the 2026-27 season!

I am sincerely grateful to all the fans and boosters who support us daily, and to our sponsors. This season, I was able to play in 60 games without injury thanks to the support of so many people. I will continue to work hard to show an even more improved version of myself next season. I will fight with all my might for three years to win with this team and to see the best view with all of you, so let's grow together.

Are you all ready for the CS? GO GO ROBOTS!!

Comment from GM Yoshihisa Ochi

We have reached a three-year contract agreement (with a player option) with Noboru Hasegawa starting from the 26-27 season.

In the 2025-26 season, he returned from a major Achilles tendon rupture he suffered the previous season. As a player, his performance on the court, always giving his all, running relentlessly, and leading the team is needless to say, but his character and leadership also grew significantly, guiding the team.

We believe his strong 'leadership,' 'competitiveness,' and 'resolve' will continue to powerfully lead the Ibaraki Robots on the B.PREMIER stage, where strong teams gather, from the 2026-27 season onward.

He often says, 'I want to make the Ibaraki Robots a team that can always win.'

Hasegawa has experienced a major injury and made a comeback from it. As he enters his third season with the Ibaraki Robots and heads toward the peak of his career, please look forward to his passionate play, backed by his strong 'feelings' and 'resolve.'
