Teppei Kisugi is a Japanese forward recognized for his opportunistic scoring and skill in combination plays. His football journey started at Shutetsu Elementary School, initially on the B-team before promotion alongside classmates Genzo Wakabayashi, Shun Izawa, Hajime Taki, and Ryoma Takasugi. Intensive training at Wakabayashi's mansion spurred their development, culminating in a prefecture championship win where Kisugi scored the decisive V-goal against Shimizu FC's Morimichi Kawakami, helping Shutetsu secure the 5th Yomiuriland National Junior Tournament. Advancing to Shutetsu's main team, he formed the "Shutetsu Trio" with Izawa and Taki, famed for rapid one-two passing. His best friend Taki remained a constant companion since elementary days. In his sixth elementary year, Kisugi transferred to Nankatsu SC, wearing jersey number 9 as a starting forward. He continued with Nankatsu through middle school (Nankatsu Junior High) and high school (Nankatsu Senior High), consistently retaining the number 9 jersey. Physically, Kisugi grew from 145 cm and 37 kg in elementary school to 172 cm and 64 kg professionally. Nicknamed "Point Getter" or "Maintainer of Score," he specialized in converting chances over technical dominance. His partnership with Taki earned them the "Silver Combi" moniker at Nankatsu for their effective combinations. Internationally, Kisugi represented Japan across multiple age groups: U-16 (jersey 20), U-19 (numbers 18, 11, 19), U-20 (number 19), U-22, and Olympic U-23 (number 19). Primarily serving as a substitute forward behind players like Kojiro Hyuga and Shun Nitta limited his playing time. He participated in winning campaigns at the International Junior Youth Tournament in France, the Asian Youth Championship, and the World Youth tournament. Professionally, Kisugi joined J1 League club Cerezo Osaka, wearing jersey number 39. Statistics reflect his supporting attacker role: across his entire career from elementary to professional levels, he recorded 13 goals and 1 assist in 36 matches totaling 1960 minutes. Notably, he scored 6 goals in 14 matches during Nankatsu SC's sixth-grade national tournament campaign. His professional debut for Cerezo Osaka yielded 1 goal in 90 minutes. His known techniques include the "Silver Combi" one-two pass (with Taki), the "Shutetsu Trio" combination (with Izawa and Taki), the "Triangle Attack" (with Izawa and Taki in specific scenarios), and the "Sliding Shot".
