Player Info
Shimon Kobayashi is a highly regarded young midfielder for J-League club Sanfrecce Hiroshima, seen as one of Japan's most promising talents for his age group. Born on January 23, 2008, the 17-year-old stands 167 cm tall and weighs 57 kg, combining agility with technical skill. Kobayashi's early career is unfolding within the famed Sanfrecce Hiroshima youth academy, a system known for producing technically gifted and intelligent players. He is progressing through the club's U-18 and potentially the Next Generation team, where his vision, passing range, and composure in midfield are being refined.
