Club career

[edit]

On 12 July 2023, Nakatani was registered as a type-2 player with the Kashiwa Reysol first team.[2] On 8 December 2013, Nakatani was promoted to the first team from the 2014 season.[3] He made his official debut for Kashiwa Reysol in the J. League Division 1, on 22 October 2014 against Gamba Osaka in Kashiwa Hitachi Stadium in Kashiwa, Japan. He started and played the full match. Nakatani and his club lost the match 1-0.[4]

After five years as a pro in Kashiwa, Nakatani switched mid-season to Nagoya Grampus in June 2018.[5] During the 2020 season, he formed a solid defensive partnership with Yuichi Maruyama and Mitchell Langerak.[6] At the end of the 2020 season, Nagoya Grampus conceded the lowest goals in the league with 28, and qualified for the AFC Champions League Elite for the first time since 2011.[7]

On 21 December 2023, Nakatani was announced at Gamba Osaka on a permanent transfer.[8] During the 2024 season, Nakatani was the only outfield player to play 38 games and the full 3,420 minutes in league matches. Last season, Gamba Osaka had conceded 61 goals, during the 2024 season, they only conceded 35 goals, the second fewest in the league.[9] At the end of the 2024 season, he was named in the 2024 J.League Best XI.[10]

International career

[edit]

Nakatani was not called up to the Japan U23 team for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but travelled as a backup player with the squad.[11]

Nakatani made his debut for Japan national team on 30 March 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Mongolia.[12]
