Comment from #25 Mitsutoshi Hirao
I will continue to serve as captain for the 2024-25 season. This season, I think my role as captain will be slightly different from the one I played until last season. Of course, I will be uniting the team, but I also want to fully support Hasegawa and pass on to him what I have built up as captain so far. While fulfilling this supporting role, I will do my best to be the liaison between the coaches and players and to support the team.

Comment from #3 Hasegawa Nobu
I am Nobu Hasegawa, wearing number 3, and I will be the captain of the Ibaraki Robots this season. I will do my best to communicate with everyone so that the team can move in a better direction. I would also like to contribute to the fast-paced basketball style that is characteristic of the Ibaraki Robots. Please support me!
