JapanPlayer Info
Kisho Yano is a seasoned Japanese striker currently applying his craft for Tochigi SC in the J2 League. At 41 years of age, Yano represents the classic target man, utilizing his 185 cm frame, physical strength, and hold-up play to lead the line for his team. His career began at Kashiwa Reysol before he truly announced himself at Albirex Niigata, where his powerful running and eye for goal made him a consistent threat in the J1 League. This form earned him a move to Europe with German club SC Freiburg, adding a valuable chapter of international experience to his resume. Upon returning to Japan, he enjoyed productive spells with Nagoya Grampus and Shimizu S-Pulse, known for his work rate and ability to bring teammates into play. While major team honors eluded him, Yano was a regular fixture in the Japanese national team setup for several years, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup squad. His career, now in its twilight at Tochigi, is a testament to the enduring value of a physically robust and intelligent center-forward who can compete at a high level across multiple decades.
