A sincere thank you.

Thank you everyone for your support for rugby and the Japan National team. Your loyalty and enthusiasm is deeply appreciated.

In 2023 I look forward to challenging for the League One title with my Toshiba Brave Lupus teammates. And of course the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France in October is set to be another great occasion for world rugby. I will endeavour to do all I can to strengthen the Brave Blossoms in our pursuit of international rugby success.
