Kosuke Kinoshita
Kosuke Kinoshita attacks space and runs beyond the line, using his target-forward frame to threaten the back post. His career spans Europe with Freiburg II and Homburg, a J2 breakout at Mito HollyHock, and a domestic rise at Kashiwa Reysol. Moved to Kashiwa, then Sanfrecce. The turning point arrived when he joined Sanfrecce Hiroshima and won the 2025 J League Cup. In 2024 he scored 10 league goals for Kashiwa before the transfer. Kosuke Kinoshita stays high up, attacks the back post and links play with one-touch layoffs. He pins centre-backs, presses from the front and creates separation for teammates in transition. Final line: finishes moves and gets shots off quickly in front of goal.
