Hayato Inamura, born in Japan on 6th May 2002, is a professional footballer who mainly operates in the role of a central defender. Currently, he represents FC Tokyo. At the age of 23, Inamura stands 5ft 11in (1.82m) tall and tips the scales at 11st 4lb (72kg).
The latest evaluation from Transfermarkt values Inamura's worth in the region of £255k. A modest valuation, yet it hints at a humble beginning to a promising career.
Inamura embarked on his professional journey in February of 2024 when he joined Albirex Niigata in Japan's J1 League. His maiden season saw him making 12 first-team appearances, while the following year he managed to feature 16 times while also bagging his first professional goal.
July 2025 marked a significant milestone in Inamura's career as he ventured out of his homeland to join the Bhoys at Celtic for a sum of around £250k. Although still in the early stages of the 2025-2026 season, Inamura has already made his first league appearance for Celtic.
In January 2026, Inamura was loaned out to FC Tokyo in the J1 League. His time at Celtic was brief but may prove pivotal in his broader football education. Back in Japan for the 2026 campaign, he will continue his development with FC Tokyo, a team he has already represented five times as part of the J1 100 Year Vision League 2026.
