Takashi Usami (宇佐美 貴史 うさみ たかし, Usami Takashi) born 6 May 1992 is a Japanese footballer who plays for Gamba Osaka. He plays as an attacking midfielder, second striker or winger.

Club career

Gamba Osaka

Usami made club history by making his professional debut for Gamba Osaka at the age of 17 years and 14 days and scoring a goal in the same match to become the youngest player to achieve both feats for the club, breaking the records previously set by Junichi Inamoto. Usami made his professional debut and goal on 20 May 2009 against FC Seoul in the Champions League.[2] In 2010, he became a more regular face in the Gamba Osaka team and he was named as Best Young Player by the J. League at the annual awards ceremony on 6 December.[3]

Bayern Munich

In June 2011, it was confirmed that Usami would be loaned out to Bayern Munich,[4] with an option to buy next summer. He joined the club in mid-July. Usami told the media in a news conference that a chance like that did not come every day, and that he was looking forward to this big challenge. When he was asked about Bayern's current first-team players, he said: "I want to improve my skills to the point, where I can take their places." Usami scored his first competitive goal for the Bavarians on 26 October 2011, in a DFB Cup match against Ingolstadt 04, after coming off the bench in the 73rd minute.[5]

International career

Usami debuted for Japan in a friendly match against Tunisia on 27 March 2015. He scored his debut goal in a friendly match against Uzbekistan on 31 March 2015.
