  • Home: White shirt with Japanese flag, blue polo collar and stripes on the sleeves and shoulders, white shorts and white socks with blue stripes. The captain armband is white with blue horizontal stripes. This is based on Japan 1984 home uniform.
  • Away: Blue shirt with Japanese flag, round white collar with a red thin line and a white sleeve borders, blue shorts with a white wide stripe and blue socks. This uniform was worn against Argentina Jr. Youth to avoid a color clash with Argentina's sky blue and white striped shirts.

  • Training: Blue shirt with white polo collar, flag of Japan as emblem on the chest, white stripes on the sleeves, blue shorts with white stripes on each side and blue socks. This uniform was worn against Mihara Central High School.
  • Training/Keeper : White shirt with white polo collar, cherry red shoulders and sleeves, flag of Japan on the chest, red trousers and white socks. This uniform was worn by Wakashimazu against Mihara Central High School. It resembles the uniform he wore when he played for Toho Academy Middle School.
