BIOGRAPHY

A key member of Ajax's squad, K. Itakura has been an important figure in the Eredivisie this season. Born in Yokohama, Japan, he developed his passion for football from an early age before catching the eye of professional clubs. As a defender, his 188 cm height and 80 kg weight provide a real physical presence on the pitch. A committed and robust defender, he puts his body on the line in duels to protect his goal. His arrival at Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2022 for € 5M was a statement of intent from a club with serious ambitions. The silverware in his career — notably 2. Bundesliga, J1 League — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. As the 2025/2026 season progresses, he continues to represent Ajax with dedication and professionalism. With his technical ability and competitive drive, K. Itakura has many more chapters to write in his professional story.
