Dynamic player who can start from a midfield or winger and right interior role. He has good turn and good driving with both legs that makes it easier for him to change the ball on his feet in situations under pressure. He has the ability to filter passes with his left or also to center when he reaches the baseline with his right. He can appear on the wing, as an interior or behind the striker, being very active with various movements throughout the attacking front.

He is associative and participatory or always tries to be, and without the ball he has sacrifice and fights for every ball. He usually positions himself well to receive the ball in the interior zone and take advantage of his technique and vision of the game to verticalize. He distributes the ball and even tells his teammates where to position themselves so that they have better reception and various passing options. He has played minutes in the last U-17 World Cup with Japan as a right midfielder along with a positional midfielder.

In general terms we are looking at a promising young player with very positive characteristics for today's football since he can adapt to various positions on the field and at the same time his dynamism allows him to fulfill various roles and take his rivals by surprise. Starting from and not in the position is something that he reads correctly and that helps him find spaces and have more frequent contact with the ball while generating partnerships with different teammates.

He can play in a team that takes the initiative since he does not suffer with the ball under rival pressure both in the middle of the field and in posterior areas. He can also play in a reactive team that uses him as a playmaker in offensive transitions thanks to his precision in passing or his good and precise driving, and he has no problems falling back and helping his teammates recover the ball.
