Clean sheets

2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.4, Harada carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
