Okuya's numbers tell the story of a flanker built around defensive reliability — averaging close to nine tackles per match across his Top 14 appearances is a serious workload for any loose forward. His carrying role is measured rather than central, but a single-game peak of 20 tackles shows he can absorb enormous defensive responsibility when the game demands it. He is the kind of player who does the unglamorous work that keeps a defensive structure honest.
