INFO


Inamoto played for Japanese club Gamba Osaka during his last year of high school, signing with the club in 1998. He was then one of many high profile transfers of Asian players to Europe, signing with Arsenal of the Premier League, though he failed to find a consistent place in the first team, only ever appearing in the League Cup and Champions League. Inamoto scored two goals for the Japanese national team at the 2002 World Cup, but had already been released by Arsenal shortly before the tournament began.[1] He was then signed by Fulham on a long-term loan deal from Gamba Osaka. Initially he settled well at the London club, garnering good notices as a tough-tackling midfielder with an eye for a spectacular goal. He scored four goals over the two legs of Fulham's Intertoto Cup final against Bologna, scoring once in the first leg[2] and a hat trick in the second.[3] Other notable goals he scored in his time for Fulham include goals against Tottenham Hotspur,[4] Sunderland,[5] Middlesbrough[6] and also in the 3–1 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford in October 2003.[7] He also scored in the FA Cup against Everton[8] which commentator Barry Davies described as "a Japanese peach".[citation needed] However, he sustained a fractured tibia in an international friendly against England, and returned to Gamba Osaka to do promotional work. Fulham were interested in signing him once more, but concerns remained over his recovery from injury.[9]
Inamoto signed with West Bromwich Albion for a decidedly small £200,000 transfer fee, which was only to be paid once he had made an appearance for the Midlands club.[10] However, Gary Megson departed as West Bromwich Albion manager shortly afterwards, and successor Bryan Robson was unsure of the player. Inamoto was loaned to Cardiff City for the latter part of the 2004–05 season,[11] and impressed, being recalled to play a role in West Brom's survival campaign in the Premiership. In 2005–06 he was a regular in the West Brom side, and was called up to the Japan squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the first Albion player to play in the tournament for 20 years.[citation needed] Whilst at West Brom Inamoto scored once, an extra time winner in a League Cup tie against former club Fulham on 25 October 2005.[12]
On August 31, 2006, he signed for Galatasaray.[13]
On May 29, 2007 it was revealed that he signed a two-year contract with German club Eintracht Frankfurt, joining on a free transfer.[14] Inamoto was presented in a press conference joining fellow Japanese striker Naohiro Takahara in Frankfurt and was released on 30 May 2009.
On 19 June 2009, French Ligue 1 side Rennes announced the signing of Inamoto.[15] He then signed for Kawasaki Frontale on 11 January 2010
