On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 23 Kato is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
