Scout report
N. Kanuma is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Tokushima Vortis, rated 26.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 109th of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kanuma.
Judged on this season alone, Kanuma graded 4 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 43rd of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League. At 28 Kanuma is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tokushima Vortis finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.9, Kanuma carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
