■ Comments from Ryota Kobayashi
Nice to meet you, Sendai 89ERS fans. I’m Ryota Kobayashi, who has transferred from Nagoya Diamond Dolphins.
I would like to be able to give back various experiences so far to this team. And I am excited to stand in front of you with my new teammates. Let’s fight together on the B1 stage!
thank you!
■ Comments from Sendai 89ERS
I am deeply grateful to Ryota Kobayashi for deciding to play in Sendai for the season when he will challenge again on the B1 stage.
Kobayashi has B1 experience and has also participated in CS at Nagoya Diamond Dolphins. I think that experience will be very big for the Nainers who were enrolled in B2. HC Fujita has always appreciated Kobayashi, and while he has the ability to make games, his hard work in defense is very attractive, and I am convinced that he is a player who fits the culture of the Nainers.
We would appreciate your warm support for the Sendai 89ERS, who will be Grind! On the B1 stage, with the addition of a new force called Kobayashi.
