Kota Takai stats for Japan in Friendlies 2025 as a Defender cover the main performance numbers: appearances, minutes, direct output, generated expected metrics, passing, and role-specific football metrics. There are 18 available stat lines across playing time, production, chance quality, passing, role output, and discipline.

Kota Takai's core production includes 11 matches, 840 minutes, and 9 starts. Playing time sets the sample size, while goals, shots, and other output numbers show the direct attacking contribution.

Kota Takai's role-specific numbers add 7.2 average rating, 0.2 xG, 0 assists, 0.1 xA, 1.71 tackles per 90, 2 successful dribbles, 1 key passes, 47.0% pass accuracy, 55 duels won, and 16 tackles. xG, xA, selected-season per-90 rates, key passes, ball carrying, duels, passing, and defensive actions show how the player contributes beyond goals and assists. The rates compare playing time fairly; they are not next-match projections.

Kota Takai's discipline numbers include 1.39 fouls per 90, 0.00 cards per 90, and 0 cards. Cards and fouls add a different angle on playing style, pressure, and match involvement beyond scoring or creation totals.

Kota Takai's numbers are most useful when read together: playing time shows the sample size, generated expected metrics add chance-quality context, selected-season per-90 rates compare different playing-time totals without acting as next-match projections, passing numbers show involvement and ball use, role metrics show how that involvement turns into actions, and discipline numbers add match-style context. That combination gives a better view of the player's role than looking at goals, assists, or minutes on their own.

Kota Takai's available stat coverage includes Friendlies 2026, Friendlies 2025, World Cup 2026, World Cup 2026 2022, and EAFF E-1 Football Championship 2025. Each competition can tell a different story: minutes and role can change, while expected metrics, goals, assists, passing, and defensive work may look very different from one season to another.
