Brighton midfielder Mito Kaoru was the first Japanese player to score double digits in the top Premier League.
He is the fourth player in the five major European leagues of the season, following Stade Reims's (France) forward Nakamura Keito, Kiel's forward Machino Shooto, and Freiburg's midfielder Doan Ritsu. Japan national team attackers are mass-producing goals in a way that competes with each other. Perugia midfielder Nakata Hidetoshi recorded his first attempt at Serie A in 1998-1999, and only four people reached the goal, including Mainz (Germany) forward Okazaki Shinji in 2014-15, but this season alone has increased by four people in a flash.
The overall Japanese soccer field has been improved and both mass is also improved. When the last time they decided to participate in the World Cup Qatar tournament, the Japanese national team was in the five major European leagues, but in March this year, when they were eligible to participate in the World Cup North and Central America tournament, the number has more than doubled to 15. Japan's national team manager Moriyasu also said in April that “it's really great that they're getting results in the five highly rated major leagues,” and “Europeans are a part of the five major leagues in Europe” are becoming the standard for the national team.
