Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton has tied Shinji Okazaki record for the most Premier League goals by a Japanese player, scoring his 14th goal in a 2-0 victory over Ipswich on January 16, 2025. Mitoma 59th-minute goal ended Brighton eight-game winless streak. He had previously netted seven goals in his first season at Brighton, and three goals last season after recovering from a back injury.

The England Premier League witnessed a milestone as Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma tied the record for the most goals scored by a Japanese player in the competition. Mitoma scored his 14th goal during Brighton’s 2-0 victory over Ipswich on January 16, 2025. The goal came in the 59th minute when he netted a side-footed shot following a pass from Matt O’Riley. This goal marked Mitoma’s first since November 29, 2024, and his fourth of the current season.

Mitoma’s achievement sees him match former Leicester forward Shinji Okazaki, who also scored 14 Premier League goals for Japan. After a successful first season at Brighton with seven goals, Mitoma faced injury setbacks last year, limiting him to just three goals. However, he expressed relief at reaching the landmark and hopes to set a new record for Japanese players in the future.

Brighton’s win ended an eight-match winless streak and propelled them to ninth in the Premier League with 31 points. The team now looks ahead to their next match against Manchester United. Mitoma’s growing influence on the field continues to be vital for Brighton’s success.
