Across three U20 Championship appearances, Kataoka has operated as a low-volume distributor whose carrying and tackling contributions are modest but consistent. His best single-game outputs — two carries and two tackles — suggest he can lift his physical involvement when the game demands it, though his overall numbers point to a scrum half who prioritises orchestration over direct ball-carrying. With 183 minutes on the pitch, the sample is meaningful enough to confirm a restrained, system-focused style at this level.
