Comment from Keiku Ochi, General Manager

We are pleased to announce the contract agreement with Kotaro Hisaoka for the 2026–27 season.
During the 2025–26 season, he consistently delivered stable performances as a backup PG without injury. As vice-captain, he supported the team both on and off the court—a contribution recognized by all.
Hisaoka’s unwavering determination, relentless effort until the final whistle, and team-first mentality—faithfully fulfilling his role with discipline—perfectly embody the Robots’ culture we cherish.

As a point guard, his full-court defensive pressure poses a constant threat to opponents and sets the tone for our team defense. Offensively, he brings stability and dynamism to the court by fully understanding his role and strengths.
We sincerely hope you look forward to Hisaoka’s continued impact on the B.PREMIER stage.
