One for Doug's summer list:

Bigger car parking spaces at Ryton. If Tats can't squeeze in, what hope have all our new 6ft 4 players got?

Very rare for someone to start that late and make it as a high level pro, especially a very technically gifted one. Would have been some talent if someone got hold of him as a kid.

I cannot understate, just how much I love this man. One of my favourite city players ever. And just clearly the most wonderful human being. Hope he’s with us till he retires.

I wonder if Haas automation will be a sponsor next year.

Sky Blue Wozza · 2026-03-26T11:36:16+0000

"Going loco with Tatsu Sakamoto" should be his song

jordan210 · 2026-03-26T11:54:47+0000

I love that Ayao Komatsu The Haas F1 team principle. Who in turn is clearly a super fan. Brings other Cov fans who work at Haas to games.

He appears to be a great mentor for Tats and Tats appears to be a mentor and friend to the new Japanese kit man we have.

Dougin · 2026-03-26T12:20:02+0000

Wow just wow. What a guy we’re blessed to have him.

Don’t know why but I had a lump in my throat watching that whole video.

Stupid Sexy Flanders · 2026-03-26T12:41:20+0000

This was a great watch 🩵

Hutch11 · 2026-03-26T12:56:14+0000

That was great

SleepyGinger · 2026-03-26T13:03:47+0000

Can’t wait for the world to find out about Sakamoto next year

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · 2026-03-26T13:07:10+0000

What a legend. I want him to score the winning goal to send us up.

Good bit of marketing to some potential Japenese fans should we get to the Premier League as well, but a great video all round.

JimmyHillsbeard · 2026-03-26T13:48:48+0000

Said it before but his performance up at Sunderland in the play off semi-final second leg must rate as one of the best individual contributions in a City shirt that I have ever seen.

This season he has confirmed his status in an improving squad and has risen to the challenge of having competition for his starting spot from a £16m premier league player.

Tbh I’m not sure I should really care if he’s a nice bloke but he does seem to be a special human being too.

rob9872 · 2026-03-26T13:53:58+0000

Love this! Thanks so much for sharing. He really is such a humble guy.

Samueljames1991 · 2026-03-26T14:22:01+0000

What a legend he is easily in my top 5 all time.

Has everything a fan could want excellent technical play and gives everything every game and always comes across as a lovely person.

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-03-26T14:22:05+0000

A genuine nice guy and so humble. Tatsu will always be in Cov folklore.

KNSB · 2026-03-26T14:35:53+0000

Takes me back to Peter Ndlovu in terms of an unknown foreign player going on to become a cult hero.

So deserving for a genuinely nice man - particularly when you consider the way he fought back from his injury.

rob9872 · 2026-03-26T14:36:16+0000

Occasionally you get a player universally loved by everyone. I'm sure you can all think of others, but probably since eg 1990, I'd say Ndlovu, Huckerby, Konjic, Gunnarsson, Hamer and now Tats. Possibly Rushworth too if he signs.

Literally beat me to Ndlovu whilst I was considering my list. Took a couple out like Whelan as I realise some won't have appreciated him for being a bit of dick on the drink.

I think sometimes being a bit wayward off the field actually goes to support cult hero status...

100%, I’m surprised he still talks to Haji wright.

Wasn’t long ago people were calling him overrated

We need to see the receipts ...

SKYBLUES90 · 2026-03-26T16:23:07+0000

@Saddlebrains Hows your Japanese? Reckon you could get a new inside source from the new kitman.

No idea what you mean pal

hill83 · 2026-03-26T16:27:25+0000

He’s definitely back at it now. Really enjoyed that video as well.

Ccfcisparks · 2026-03-26T16:36:00+0000

The fact we have a new Japanese kit man suggests we may sign a few more from that way.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us sign Ueda from Feyenoord

Newsbot · 2026-03-26T16:42:20+0000

Watch on Youtube....

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-03-26T16:47:18+0000

The levels we are at now! We’ve signed kitman from Japan from Grampus 8. Top flight club and where Gary Lineker used to play.
