About the player
Shunsuke Mito became the first non-EU player ever signed by Sparta Rotterdam when he arrived from Albirex Niigata in December 2023 on a contract running until June 2028. On his competitive debut, on 13 January 2024, he scored in a 2–0 away win at Fortuna Sittard.
In 2023, still with Albirex Niigata, Mito was named the J.League's Best Young Player and picked up the Konami Goal of the Month award twice in the same year, for strikes against Yokohama F·Marinos and Urawa Red Diamonds. A year earlier he had helped the club win the J2 League title and earn promotion to the J1 League.
His form in January 2025 earned him a place in the Eredivisie Team of the Month.
He was part of the side that won the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship, then reached the round of 16 at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
