Youth career

Tawaratsumida started playing football at five years old influenced by his older brother.[2] At elementary school, he played for ARTE Hachioji FC Junior and later moved on to FC Tokyo U-15s as a junior. For FC Tokyo U-15s, he helped them finish third in the U-15 Japan Club Youth Cup.[3]

He moved up to the U-18s in 2020 and was part of the team that were beaten finalists in the U-18 Japan Club Youth Cup, losing 3–2 to Sagan Tosu U-18s, although Tawaratsumida himself only made a series of late cameos throughout the competition.[4]

In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he participated more in the Prince Takamado U-18 Football League, playing 27 times and scoring 3 goals.[5][6]

Club career

In February 2022, it was announced Tawaratsumida would be joining up with FC Tokyo's first team squad as a Type 2 registered player, meaning he could continue to represent their U-18s as well as being registered with the first team.[7] In August 2022, it was decided that he would fully join the top team for the 2023 season.[3]

At the start of the 2023 season, Tawaratsumida was identified as a player that could have a breakout rookie season.[8] On 23 February 2023, he made his debut in a J1 League match against Kashiwa Reysol where he appeared as an 80th-minute substite for Koki Tsukagawa.[9][10] In matchweek 4 of the 2023 season, Tawaratsumida was named in the starting XI for the first time in a 3–1 win over Yokohama FC and made an impact with his ability to dribble into the opponent's box.[11]
