Shusuke Sakamoto (坂本修佑, Sakamoto Shusuke; born 22 March 1993 in Tondabayashi, Osaka) is a Japanese footballer who plays for FC Osaka.
After attending the Osaka University of Health and Sport Sciences, he joined Nara Club in mid-2015.[1] Before the 2017 season, his manager Norihiro Satsukawa turns Sakamoto from a defender to a centre-forward: as a result, Sakamoto scored 18 goals and he was named the JFL's top-scorer.[2] After this performance, he opted to sign for Azul Claro Numazu.[3]
