Coming off the bench across six internationals, Otsuka contributes consistently in both directions — his tackle numbers are notably high for a replacement, averaging three and a half per appearance. His carrying is purposeful rather than prolific, with a best single-game output of seven carries for 15 metres pointing to an ability to step up his work rate when the match demands it. The single try on record adds a finishing dimension to what is otherwise a profile built around defensive reliability and hard-running support work.
