Ryōga Kida (貴田 遼河, Kida Ryōga; born 15 July 2005) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Argentine Primera División club Argentinos Juniors, on loan from Nagoya Grampus.[1]

Youth career

[edit | edit source]

Kida first started playing football for Tokyo Verdy Junior, before moving on to FC Tama Junior Youth.[2] He studied at Tokai Gakuen High School and went on to join Nagoya Grampus U-18s.

He made his debut aged 15 for Nagoya Grampus U-18s in April 2021. He came on as a substitute in a Prince Takamado Trophy JFA U-18 Football League game against Júbilo Iwata U-18s.[3] In July 2021, he scored his first goal for the U-18s in a 3–1 victory over Kawasaki Frontale U-18s in the Japan Club Youth Cup.[4] Nagoya Grampus U-18s went on to win the cup competition, with Kida appearing as a subsitite in the final.[5]

Kida continued with the U-18s for the 2022 season, making 19 appearances and scoring 6 goals for them in all competitions.[6] He also made two appearances at the start of the 2023 season and scoring two goals, before joining up with the first team.

Club career

Nagoya Grampus

[edit | edit source]

In July 2022, aged 16, Kida joined up with the Nagoya Grampus first team squad as a Type 2 registered player, meaning he could continue to represent their U-18s as well as being registered with the first team.[7] He made his debut for the club in the same month, in a 2–1 Emperor's Cup defeat to Cerezo Osaka.[8][9] This was his only appearance throughout the 2022 J1 League season.

Kida scored his first goals for the club in April 2023, scoring twice in a 2–0 J.League Cup victory over Yokohama FC. Aged 17 years, 9 months and 4 days, Kida became Nagoya's youngest-ever goalscorer in the league cup, a record previously held since 2002 by Atsushi Katagiri.[10] Following his performance in the league cup, on 2 May 2023 Kida signed his first professional contract with Nagoya.[11] A few weeks later, he made his J1 League debut, appearing as a late substitute in a 2–2 draw with Vissel Kobe.[12] He ended his first full season making 19 appearances across all competitions, scoring 3 goals.

Before the start of the 2024 season, Kida's squad number was changed from 42 to 31.[13]

Loan to Argentinos Juniors

[edit | edit source]

On 4 February 2024, it was announced that Kida would be joining Argentine Primera División club Argentinos Juniors on loan, with an option to buy.[14] He will initially link up with the reserve squad.[15] If he participates for the first team, he would be only the third Japanese player to play in the first division of Argentine football.[16]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Kida was first named in the Japan national under-17 football team squad in August 2022 to take part in a tournament held in Hiroshima.[17] In November 2022, he was called up again to the U-17s to take part in a tour of Croatia – his first overseas trip as a member of the national team.[18]
