"I am Sato Rusei from the University of Tsukuba Football Club, and I will be joining Urawa Reds from the 2026 season.
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have supported me up until now, including my family, friends, and coaches.
I feel very honored to be able to play for Urawa Reds, but at the same time I also feel a great sense of responsibility.
I will be joining the team from next season onwards, but I will work hard every day with determination to play in my own style, protect the goal with all my might, and contribute to the team's victory!
Thank you to all Urawa Reds fans and supporters!"
