It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

There are uncited statements in the article.
There is lots of information about the beginning of his career, but less about the later years and no information about his retirement. I could not find information about what happened with the Fukushima Hopes team in 2017.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:49, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
