  • a player must be in his first professional year of football (domestically or abroad);
  • a player must have played more than half of the season;
  • in date 2 April of the incumbent season, he has to be under 21 years old;
  • whoever has already won this award, he's excluded from running for it again.

The youngest-ever winner is Takayuki Morimoto: he won the award in 2004 at the age of 16.

Players names shown in bold were also named in the best eleven for that season.

Manager of the year

The J.League Manager of the Year is an annual award given to one manager by the J.League based on their performance during the season. In the past, the award usually went to the manager of the champions, though this has varied somewhat over the years. From 2017, the award was modified so that the Manager of the J.League champion wins the J.League Champion Manager of the Year, and a separate J.League Manager of the Year award is given to a Manager from each of the J.Leagues (J1, J2 and J3). The list below reflects the award for J1 League Manager of the Year award only.
