Okuya's output across 11 appearances is defined overwhelmingly by his tackle work — close to nine per match at a rate that marks him as a primary defensive operator at the breakdown and in the wider channels. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, which points to a role built around off-the-ball effort and defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand threat. His peak of 20 tackles in a single match underlines that his ceiling as a defensive contributor is notably higher than his average already suggests.
