□Comment
I`m leaving F.C. TOKYO. I miss this club and its members very much.
I had great experiences over these 2 years. Every moment, both the highs and lows at this club, remains a good memory.
Also, I am very proud to have played with the uniform number 16.
I am fortunate to have played with supportive coaches, staff, and cheerful teammates, and I am very glad to have played with them in J1, J2, and ACL.
Last but not least, I deeply appreciate the fans and supporters who always supported me.
Your cheering gave me strength during the games.
Best wishes to F.C. TOKYO, and looking forward to having an interaction in the future. I will always be watching the games.
Thank you very much for the great times and memories.
My life as a professional soccer player goes on, so thank you very much for your continuous support.
I will never forget those who I met at this team.
I won't say goodbye, see you again. Thank you! Go. F.C. TOKYO!
