Japanese striker Takahiro Kunimoto, who played in the K-League in the past, has been raised to become a member of the Chinese national team.

Kunimoto, who plays for Liaoning Tianren in China's second division, recently spoke to Chinese media outlet Jokugo about his view on whether he was naturalized as a member of the Chinese national team. Recently, as more fans have evaluated Kunimoto's performance quite highly on the Chinese Internet, related questions seem to have been asked, and Kunimoto said, "I have an open attitude to the possibility of naturalization. If the Chinese Football Association (CFA) comes, I will talk to them."

Kunimoto has represented Japan by age, but he has not played for the A team. Therefore, he can acquire Chinese citizenship if he meets the requirements for naturalization.

However, as he has been playing in China since the 2024 season, there is a long time left to achieve one of China's naturalization conditions for more than five years. Still, considering Kunimoto's young age, who is 27 this year, if he can continue to play in China without any problems, he could see Kunimoto achieving this condition in his early 30s and becoming a member of the Chinese national team. 온라인카지노

Kunimoto was also praised by Korean fans for his outstanding performances at Gyeongnam FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai after making his professional debut in 2015 in Abispa Fukuoka. However, he was kicked out due to a drunk driving incident during his time in Jeonbuk, and later joined Liaoning last year after moving around Casa Pia (Portugal) and Johor Darlle Takjim (Malaysia). In his first year as a member of the league, he scored four goals and seven assists in 25 league games, and in the 2025 season, he has achieved one goal and three assists in four games since the opening, showing the best performance in the league.
