R. Takano is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Sagamihara, rated 11.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 259th of 300 on scout potential in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Takano.

Judged on this season alone, Takano graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 78th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 1.307 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 88th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Takano is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11.2, Takano carries the 88th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
