Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

Y. Hakamata is a 30-year-old central defender at Roasso Kumamoto, rated 19.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 151st of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (36% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hakamata.

Judged on this season alone, Hakamata graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League, on 3 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 55th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 30 Hakamata is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.3, Hakamata carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Roasso Kumamoto finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
