Ono is not the only player to have won Asian Youth Player and Asian Player of the Year Awards. Mehdi Madavikia did the same.

[edit] Ono Urawa fan as a youth?

this is highly doubtful since Urawa Red Diamonds came into existence in 1995. and Ono Joined Urawa at 17, which was 1996. If you're refering to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Employees' Social Soccer club, then please re-state.

The whole paragraph is full of inaccuracies.

He started like most other Japanese footballers at the college level, where he immediately stood out. As soon as he reached the legal playing age of 17 he was offered a professional contract by many professional Japanese clubs. Ono chose his childhood favorite team, the Urawa Red Diamonds.

Most professional Japanese soccer players don't start at the college level - in fact, they don't attend college and they generally start out at junior high or younger. There is no "legal playing age" - Takayuki Morimoto made his debut with Tokyo Verdy at age 16. Ono joined Urawa after graduating from high school. And as you say, there's nothing to suggest that either Mitsubishi or Urawa was his childhood team. I suggest deleting the paragraph altogether. Ytny 15:35, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
