Playing Career Highlights

Takuya Mikami started his professional football journey after graduating from Komazawa University. In 2002, he joined his local team, Urawa Reds. This club played in the J1 League, which is Japan's top football division.

Time at Urawa Reds

When he first joined Urawa Reds, Takuya played a few matches. Sometimes he played as a left side midfielder. However, he did not get to play very often during his time there, which lasted until 2004.

In June 2004, Takuya moved to a club called Kyoto Purple Sanga. This team was in the J2 League, which is the second division of Japanese football. He quickly became a regular player for them. He usually played as a left side back, helping to defend and also move the ball forward.

In the 2005 season, Kyoto Sanga FC won the championship in the J2 League. This big win meant they were promoted back to the J1 League! However, in 2006, Takuya's chances to play decreased. The team was then relegated back to J2 the following year.

Joining Ehime FC

In 2008, Takuya Mikami moved to another J2 League club, Ehime FC. Here, he once again became a regular player, continuing his role as a left side back. He played many games for Ehime FC.

As time went on, from 2010, his playing opportunities started to decrease again. Takuya Mikami decided to retire from professional football at the end of the 2011 season. He had a career spanning nearly a decade, playing for three different Japanese clubs.
