Career
Gaziantepspor
After a successful season with Gaziantepspor, Tabata moved to Beşiktaş for €8 million transfer fee.[1]
Al Rayyan
In late 2011, the Al Rayyan administration asked Tabata to obtain a Japanese passport for reasons relating to the foreign player quota of the AFC Champions League. However, Tabata failed the prerequisites as he cannot write or read the Japanese language.[2]
He received a $100,000 cash award 8 April 2012 for scoring a super hat-trick (4 goals) against Qatar SC in a league game to give his team an 8-2 win, which was the highest scoring game recorded in the league for the 2011/12 season.[3]
In the 2011/12 season, he won the player of the year award in the Qatari league, recording 17 goals and 9 assists.[4]
Al Sadd (loan)
On 31 January 2014, he signed a loan deal with another Qatari club and title holders Al Sadd.
Al Rayyan
Now he's back to Al Rayyan.
International Career
In August 2015 Tabata was selected for the Qatar national team's camp in Austria. His unofficial debut came in a friendly against Austrian club LASK Linz on 17 August, 2015.[5]
