In his home debut, he scored a hat-trick as Celtic beat Dundee 6-0 in August 2021.
This was Celtic's first home debut hat-trick in a century.

Kyogo is one of only 12 men to score for Celtic in both Scottish Cup and League Cup Finals.
He was also the first Japanese player to score for Celtic in those finals.

He holds a Celtic record for goals v any Rangers in a calendar year; 7 in 2023.
The previous record had stood for 130 years!
This included scoring at both ends at Celtic Park, Ibrox and Hampden.

He more than demonstrated his right to be revered amongst some of the club's best forwards.
Which makes this infamous tweet when he first signed for Celtic all the more amusing...

🇯🇵 Kyogo, Maeda and Hatate are Celtic's own version of this.

85 goals - from a home debut hat-trick to winners v Rangers, European goals and strikes in finals - shows he delivered when needed.
Hard to replace, but like other great players who've left, the club goes on.
🍀🇯🇵
