In 2000, he called it quits with the Japan national team, capping off his decade-long international career with 55 goals scored in 89 matches before hanging up his cleats.
He only appeared in three games while on loan in Portugal during the previous season, but he has committed to remain there for an additional year, so he will be looking to make a bigger impression this time around.
