Kota Tawaratsumida (俵積田晃太, Tawaratsumida Kota, born 14 May 2004) is a Japanese footballer who plays as a midfielder for J1 League club FC Tokyo.[1]
Youth career
[edit]Tawaratsumida started playing football at five years old influenced by his older brother.[2] At elementary school, he played for ARTE Hachioji FC Junior and later moved on to FC Tokyo U-15s as a junior. For FC Tokyo U-15s, he helped them finish third in the U-15 Japan Club Youth Cup.[3]
He moved up to the U-18s in 2020 and was part of the team that were beaten finalists in the U-18 Japan Club Youth Championship, losing 3–2 to Sagan Tosu U-18s, although Tawaratsumida himself only made a series of late cameos throughout the competition.[4]
In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he had more play time consistency in the Prince Takamado U-18 Football League, playing 27 times and scoring three goals.[5][6]
Club career
[edit]In February 2022, it was announced Tawaratsumida would be joining up with FC Tokyo's first team squad as a Type 2 registered player, meaning he could continue to represent their U-18s as well as being registered with the first team.[7] In August 2022, it was decided that he would fully join the top team for the 2023 season.[3]
At the start of the 2023 season, Tawaratsumida was identified as a player that could have a breakout rookie season.[8] On 23 February 2023, he made his debut in a J1 League match against Kashiwa Reysol where he appeared as an 80th-minute substitite for Koki Tsukagawa.[9][10] In matchweek 4 of the 2023 season, Tawaratsumida was named in the starting XI for the first time in a 3–1 win over Yokohama FC and made an impact with his ability to dribble into the opponent's box.[11] His dribbling ability was on display in October, when Tawaratsumida won the J1 League Goal of the Month award for his solo effort in a 3–0 win over Gamba Osaka.[12] At the end of his debut season, Tawaratsumida played 35 games for FC Tokyo in all competitions, scoring two goals.
In the 2024 season, Tawaratsumida won the Young Player of the Month award for May after contributing a goal and an assist.[13]
