[Player Comments]
To all those who love Urawa Reds.

I will be playing for Fagiano Okayama next season as well.
This season was my first time playing in the J1 League, and I was able to gain a variety of experiences, and I felt that I have grown more than ever before at Fagiano Okayama.

However, I feel that I need to grow even more.
I will take another look at myself and continue to work hard with determination, never forgetting my gratitude to Fagiano Okayama for needing me so that I can continue to grow every day.

I will continue to grow more than ever at Fagiano Okayama next season, wearing the Urawa Reds uniform, fighting for Urawa Reds and contributing to their victory, and also to show everyone how much I have grown.

*During the loan period, Kota Kudo will not be able to play in official matches against Urawa Reds.
