Nobuhito Toriizuka: A Football Journey
Nobuhito Toriizuka was born in Maebashi, Japan, on August 7, 1972. After finishing his studies at Tokai University, he began his professional football journey.
Starting His Career
In 1995, Nobuhito joined a club called Cosmo Oil. This team played in the Japan Football League (JFL). He quickly became a regular player, meaning he played in most of the team's matches.
However, the Cosmo Oil club stopped playing at the end of the 1996 season. This meant Nobuhito had to find a new team.
Moving Up the Leagues
In 1997, Nobuhito moved to another JFL club, Consadole Sapporo. His new team did very well, finishing second in the league that year. This success helped them get promoted to the J1 League in 1998. The J1 League is the top professional football league in Japan.
Even though the team moved up, Nobuhito found it harder to play regularly in the J1 League.
Playing for Local Teams
In 1999, Nobuhito decided to join a local club from his hometown area, Tonan SC. This team played in the Japanese Prefectural Leagues, which are lower-level leagues. He played many games for Tonan SC.
His efforts helped the club get promoted to the Japanese Regional Leagues in 2001. This was another step up for the team.
Success with Thespa Kusatsu
In 2003, Nobuhito joined Thespa Kusatsu, another team in the Regional Leagues. Here, he once again became a key player. He helped Thespa Kusatsu achieve great success.
The club was promoted to the Japan Football League in 2004. Then, in 2005, they moved up again to the J2 League. The J2 League is the second-highest professional league in Japan. Nobuhito was a central player for Thespa Kusatsu for many years. He played a total of 201 games for them, scoring 10 goals.
He continued to play for Thespa Kusatsu until the end of the 2008 season, when he decided to retire from professional football. Throughout his career, Nobuhito Toriizuka played a total of 286 games and scored 18 goals.
