Takahiro Ko

Takahiro Ko (高 宇洋) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for club FC Tokyo. He is the son of former Chinese international Gao Sheng.

Career
After graduating from Funabashi High School in Chiba, Ko signed his first professional contract with Gamba Osaka ahead of the 2017 season. He didn't feature for Gamba's senior side during his debut campaign, but played 28 times in J3 for Gamba U-23.

2018 was a more productive year and he started off captaining Gamba U-23, playing a total of 20 games and scoring 3 times. However, he spent most of the latter half of the year with Gamba's J1 side following the promotion of Gamba U-23 head coach Tsuneyasu Miyamoto. He made his J1 League debut in Miyamoto's first match as manager, a 1-1 draw at home to Kashima Antlers on July 28 and made a total of 12 league appearances that year. In addition he also played once in the J.League Cup in the quarter-final tie against Yokohama F. Marinos.
