Reo Hatate, born 21 November 1997 (currently 27 years of age), is a Japanese professional footballer. He plays in the role of a central midfielder for Celtic, sporting the number 41 jersey. Coming in at a stature of 1.71m (5ft 7in) and weight of 70kg (11st), Hatate's skills have also been recognised by his homeland with representation in the Japan national football team.

The current market value of Hatate is estimated to be around €11.00m, which is approximately £9.4m, according to Transfermarkt. His Celtic contract is ongoing, with 3 years and 3 months remaining, set to conclude on 31 May 2028.

Beginning his professional career in August 2018, Hatate first joined Kawasaki Frontale, which competes in the J1 League in Japan. Following a humble debut season in 2019 with a single first team appearance, Hatate quickly made his mark in the subsequent seasons - making 31 appearances and scoring five goals in the 2020 and 2021 seasons respectively.

In January 2022, Hatate transferred from Kawasaki Frontale to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. The move was orchestrated for a fee of around £1.4 million. Establishing himself as a valuable asset for the club, he made substantial contributions in each of his seasons at Celtic. Over the course of four seasons - from 2021 to 2025 - Hatate made total of 96 first-team appearances and scored 20 league goals.

In addition to his commendable performance in the domestic matches, Hatate has also demonstrated his ability in various international tournaments. He participated in the Champions League 2023 - 2024 for Celtic with three starts, the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic with four starts, and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic with two starts as well as one substitute appearance. Notably, he also represented Japan in the World Cup Qualifiers Asia 2024 - 2026, making one start and two substitute appearances.
