Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Hull City's output per match with Hidemasa Morita (4 matches) versus without him (4 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 4 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. What his own defending should move — goals conceded and results — leads; attacking output (largely out of a defender's hands) is shown after, for context. A proper on-off model needs many more minutes.

Recruitment
Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Hidemasa Morita is a defensive mid: 76% completion, 7 line-breaks and 2.5 progressive passes /90, resisting pressure with 100% dribble success. A central controller. [Off-ball screening position and scanning need tracking data.]
Based on 4 matches (110 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a defensive mid — best used in a system built around that identity.
