Okabe's output across six internationals is defined by his defensive workload, averaging six tackles per match and reaching double figures in his best performance — a high return for a prop. His carrying is measured and functional rather than prolific, with his yards coming in short, purposeful bursts that reflect the tight-forward demands of his role. The consistency of his minutes and tackle numbers points to a player who holds his shape and earns his time through defensive reliability.
