Comment by Fumiya Koike
My name is Fumiya Koike and I join Niigata Albirex BB. I am grateful to be able to play in my hometown of Niigata. I would like to do my best to revive Niigata, so please support me.
Comment by Akira Kawakami, President and Representative Director
Koike was the captain when Kaishi Kokusai High School won its first Inter-High Championship in its fifth year of its founding. After entering Nihon Keizai University, a leading school in Kyushu and an ordinary intercollegiate school, he encouraged the team with his signature three-point weapon and led the team to 4th place in West Japan Tournament last year . He will join the team as a designated player this time around, but as a player from Niigata Prefecture, like Endo, I expect him to capture the heart of the booster with his gorgeous triples.
