Career
Born in Shizuoka Prefecture and raised by Júbilo Iwata's youth ranks, Nakano opted to join University of Tsukuba in 2014. He shone with that shirt, scoring five goals in the national cup and bringing the university to the round of 16 (after knocking out three professional teams, including J1 League side Vegalta Sendai).[1]
Noticed by Júbilo Iwata, he opted to join the Shizuoka-based club as a special designed player in 2017.[2] He made his professional debut in the 2018 season against Shimizu S-Pulse in J. League Cup, the same competition where he scored his first goals for Júbilo.[3]
