Takanori Sugeno is a Japanese football player who plays for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.

Playing career

Although considered short for a goalkeeper, standing at 178 cm, he makes up for his lack of height with superb agility and reflexes.
In 2006, he was a part of the Yokohama FC defense that set a J.League record when they did not concede a goal for 770 consecutive minutes, breaking Shimizu S-Pulse's 731 minutes recorded in 1993. They also kept 7 consecutive clean sheets en route to promotion to the J1 League.
In 2007, Sugeno was named J.league rookie of the year. In 2008, he was signed by Kashiwa Reysol, a move which some consider unwise as Kashiwa already have a good and relatively young goalkeeper in Yuta Minami.
