Yutaro Oda

Yutaro Oda of Shonan Bellmare was born in Hyōgo, Japan on 12 August 2001 (age 24).

Yutaro Oda, born 12 August 2001 (age 24), is a Japanese right winger now with Shonan Bellmare, where he wears the No 9 shirt. His market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came in Scotland with Hearts in 2023-24, when he scored five goals in 25 appearances. That was useful rather than spectacular, but it gave him a clear place in the side and a modest attacking return from wide areas.

By 2025, Oda was back in Japan with Shonan Bellmare and still a regular first-team presence. He made 22 J1 League appearances and scored once, showing continued involvement even if the goals column stayed thin.

Oda’s career so far has been a steady one across Japan and Scotland, with his Hearts spell providing his strongest league return and Shonan Bellmare giving him regular football in 2025.

Yutaro Oda made 22 J1 League appearances for Shonan Bellmare in 2025, split evenly between 11 starts and 11 substitute outings. One goal from a right-wing role pointed to a rotational attacker rather than a primary source of end product, with his involvement strong enough to keep him in the league picture but not secure a fixed starting place.

Oda's career moved from Vissel Kobe to Hearts and then Shonan Bellmare, giving him three senior clubs by age 24. The Hearts spell represented the European step in the middle of his path, while the 2025 move took him back to Japan and into regular J1 League involvement.

Oda's major moves were both undisclosed-fee transfers: Vissel Kobe to Hearts in January 2023, then Hearts to Shonan Bellmare in March 2025. That pattern suggested clubs still saw enough value to commit to permanent deals, while the return from Scotland to Japan marked a shift away from the British market rather than a loan reset.
