Junya Ito took an unusual route, emerging through Kanagawa University and Ventforet Kofu before starring at Kashiwa Reysol. A move to Genk in Belgium showcased his blistering pace and crossing, and he later impressed at Stade de Reims in Ligue 1 before returning to Genk in 2025. One of Japan's most prolific assist providers, the right winger is a long-serving attacking weapon.
- Reached professional football via university rather than an academy
- Won the Belgian Cup with Genk
- Returned to Genk in 2025 after Reims' relegation
