Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hatanaka.
Judged on this season alone, Hatanaka graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.137 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 33rd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 30 Hatanaka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
