I have decided to retire at the end of this season. I am truly grateful to the team staff and my teammates for respecting this decision.

And to the fans, thank you so much for your many cheers and support over the past eight years, including my time with the Shining Arcs. There were long periods when I was away from the field, and times when I felt I might have to give up rugby. However, your presence gave me meaning and vitality to keep going, and thanks to that, I was able to do my best up to this point. I am proud to have been able to play for all of you who have warmly supported me at all times.

I believe we may still see each other at the venues in the future, so I would be happy if you could continue to call my name and talk to me as always!! Thank you very much!!

Thank you for an amazing 4 years. I've truly enjoyed my time here, and it's always been a pleasure meeting and connecting with everyone both on and off the field.

I would like to thank everyone who has been part of this journey -- my teammates, coaches, management, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and all the families who have supported not only me but the entire team throughout the years. Your hard work, dedication, and support behind the scenes never go unnoticed, and I am incredibly grateful for everything you've done.

To the fans, thank you for your unwavering support, whether at home or away. Your energy and encouragement have meant so much to me and the team. Even though I'm leaving, a part of my heart will always remain with D-Rocks. This club has given me unforgettable memories, lifelong friendships, and experiences that I will cherish forever. Let's continue supporting D-Rocks in the future and cheering the team on as they continue to grow and achieve great things.

Thank you very much for everything. I will always be grateful to everyone who made these past four years so special. D-Rocks will always hold a special place in my heart.
