Not-so-famous Japanese Players Abroad \ Japanese players in minor leagues

Austria - ÖFB Cup

Shota Sakaki scored in the 8th Min for SV Horn, Takumi Minamino equalised in the 19th Min for Salzburg.
Match Ended SV Horn 2 - 3 Salzburg

 

His dad was a J-League veteran (Gamba/Vissel) and also managed Vissel, before moving on to Chonburi FC and Kyoto Sanga, getting sacked by the latter this July. Tomoki and his older brother Atsuki were Vissel academy graduates, the latter joining Kyoto's senior team out of university. As for Tomoki, he's said to be a scrawny attacking midfielder with vision and an accurate foot, but he hasn't yet made his senior team debut.

In Arnhem we still remember the Japanese duo Mike Havenaar & Michiro Yasuda who played for us in 2012. Many Japanese fans visited our stadium at that time. Yasuda and Havenaar formed a great duo on and on the pitch and that's why we wrote an article about them: Mike Havenaar & Michiro Yasuda: the Japanese duo http://fromarnhemwithlove.com/2015/11/03/the-japanese-duo/

Some Bundesliga clubs are interested in Japanese-American MF Justin Toshiki Kinjyo (TSV 1860 München U19 ). His brother is Christopher Tatsuki Kinjyo currently playing in F.C. Ryūkyū in J3 League
http://www.hochi.co.jp/soccer/world/20151205-OHT1T50200.html

 

He has a thread in the US forum: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/justin-kinjo-at-tsv-1860-münchen.2023597/

 

It seems he is an interesting prospect.

He is 18, with a good physical stature 180cm, starting as a defensive midfielder for 1860 Munich U-19 which is topping their U-19 league above the likes of Bayern Munich, Vfb Stuttgart, Hoffenheim, Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz and Freiburg.

But If I'm not wrong 1860 Munich tend to have strong youth teams and system, so their current placement isn't a fluke.

Chance upon this player.. Hayato Wakino, currently playing in Atlantis FC , Finnish football club, based in Helsinki. It currently plays in the third tier of Finnish football.

 

MLS side Toronto FC have selected Tsubasa Εndoh with the ninth pick of the 2016 MLS Super Draft from Maryland Terrapins.

Sorry if posted before.

 

RYOTARO NAKANO transferred to FK JELGAVA (Latvian Higher League) from BFC DAUGAVA DAUGAVPILS (Latvian Higher League)

 

Tsubasa Endoh gets selected by Toronto FC in the 1st Round (9th Overall pick) of the 2016 MLS Superdraft!
DC United could've used him but congrats to Endoh!

 

My apologies jascleme, didn't see your post until now.

 

We moved Endoh (and Kudo, and Kobayashi) here: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/2016-japanese-players-in-major-league-soccer-mls.2028152/

Anyway, a stunning rise in the draft for Endoh. Impressive story.

 

Thanks for providing the link. It is quite impressive, I didn't expect him to be drafted so high.

 

Apparently most draft boards had him as a 2nd day (i.e. 3rd-4th round) prospect until he lit the combine on fire. Even then he was projected late 1st-early 2nd round, so TFC really must have seen something special. Hopefully he'll get great mentorship under Giovinco, Bradley and Jozy and develop into a special player.
