"I'm sure the transition will be smooth because of the other Japanese players and I'll fit in quickly," Kinoshita said through the club.

A product of J-League side Yokohama FC's youth development program, Kinoshita has had stints with clubs including German Bundesliga side SC Freiburg.

He scored 13 goals in 29 league games for Halmstads last year.
