Yutaro Oda

Yutaro Oda of Hearts was born in Hyōgo, Japan on 12 August 2001 (age 23)

Yutaro Oda, a footballer hailing from the Land of the Rising Sun, was born on the 12th of August, 2001, placing him at a mature 23 years of age. Standing at a respectable 5 feet and 11 inches (1.81m) and boasting an athletic weight of 11 stone (70kg), Oda adds a physical presence on the pitch with his role as a forward, primarily operating from the right wing for Scottish football club Hearts. The number 11 jersey is his armour on the field of play.

Currently, as per the data accumulated by Transfermarkt, his market value is circling around the six-digit figure of £440,000 (€500k). His bond with Hearts remains strong for the time being with his contract set to expire on the penultimate day of May, 2026. That leaves him with 1 year and nine months to further etch his legacy at the Edinburgh-based club.

Tracing Oda's footsteps back to when he first emerged onto the footballing stage, we find ourselves back in 2020 when he was donning the Vissel Kobe jersey in his homeland of Japan. Oda managed 19 first team appearances in his inaugural season, scoring a solitary goal. The following season, he made just three appearances in the first team but maintained his strike rate from the previous season scoring another goal. His Japanese journey concluded in 2022 with 21 first team appearances and an enriched experience to take with him to foreign land.

The subsequent 2022-23 season bore witness to Oda’s Scottish adventure, making 12 first team appearances and scoring one goal for Hearts. His subsequent season with the club saw a significant improvement, with 25 appearances and five netted balls to his name. As of the ongoing 2024-25 season, Oda has made four first team appearances and found the back of the net once.

In addition, Oda's 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons were peppered with cup engagements. In the 2024-25 League Cup for Hearts, he managed a single start. A season earlier, he also had a taste of the Scottish Cup representing Hearts, with a start and a substitute appearance. His venture into European waters was seen in the 2024-25 season's Europa League Qualifiers with Hearts, where Oda made two appearances off the bench.
