Hokuto's 2009 in Tokyo

It was a so-so-season for our beloved dude in the blue-red jersey of the capital club.
Just before the season, Hokuto got injured in a game agaisnt J2-side Consadole Sapporo and was out for a long time. Hokuto made his first game against Yokohama F. Marinos at Nissan Stadium on J1's 12th round.He came on as a substitute for Yohei Kajiyama and just 7 minutes later, he scored his first goal for his new club!



After this great start, everything was looking good and Hokuto came on as a sub again in the next game, but in the Nabisco Cup group stage, he got injured again against Montedio Yamagata.
After he got through this injury, he played a game, didn't play, played, didn't play...
Hokuto shot another cracker at the Emperor's Cup 3rd round-game against J2-side Thespa Kusatsu with a great freekick.



Just a few days before, Hokuto and F.C. Tokyo celebraited a big 2:0-win against Tokyo bay-rival Kawasaki Frontale in the Nabisco Cup-final at National Stadium Kokuritsu in Tokyo.
Hokuto was in the squad, but didn't make it on pitch...
It was the first title for Hokuto in his career and the 2nd for F.C. Tokyo, after they win this cup back in 2004 against Urawa Reds.



In the last 3 games, Hokuto started as a starter on Naohiro Ishikawa's season, who played a monster-season. Hokuto didn't looked so bad and scored a really, really nice goal at today's season-final against Albirex Niigata at Niigata "Big Swan" Stadium.
