Key people

Yuki Kurihara (YUUKI)

Puyo Puyo player

Joined in June 2026 and won the Puyo Puyo final 10–2 for Japan at Aichi-Nagoya 2026; the medal was an individual national-team result, not a Tokyo Verdy title.[4]

PTG Database Analysis

Tokyo Verdy eSports is a multi-title department established in 2016. Its official history records Puyo Puyo titles at the 2022 and 2023 Inter-Prefectural Esports Championships and a 2023 Puyo Puyo Grand Prix Finals win, establishing a competitive record beyond the current Asian Games story.[1]

The Puyo Puyo division publicly announced YUUKI’s addition in June 2026. His September Asian Games gold was earned while representing Japan, so it belongs to his athlete record rather than the Team’s achievement list. Tokyo Verdy Club’s site describes eSports as a department under the Club, but PTG does not yet have a canonical Tokyo Verdy Club record; the structured parent-Club link therefore remains pending review.[1][2][4]
