It was a landmark night for Daichi Kamada on Thursday evening – as the midfielder made his 100th appearance for the Eagles in the 2-2 draw away to Beşiktaş in the UEFA Europa League. Here are some of his key numbers so far...

100

A century of Palace appearances for Kamada, who made his debut in a slender 2-1 defeat to Brentford on the opening day of the 2024/25 season.

1,000

Kamada’s start against Brentford also marked a special milestone for the club. The midfielder became the 1000th different player to wear Crystal Palace colours since we joined the Football League in 1920 (in the league or a recognised Cup competition).

Head here for the complete list compiled dutifully by club historian Ian King.

First

By starting at the Gtech Community Stadium, Kamada also became our first-ever Japanese player.

69

Premier League appearances for Palace so far.

6,245’

Minutes played for the Palace first team so far.

Three

Trophies won as an Eagle – the FA Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Conference League – so far.

Four

Assists in Palace’s run to European glory last season, putting Kamada joint-top of the club’s assists chart alongside Jean-Philippe Mateta.

67

Starts in competitive fixtures for the Eagles.

Two

Consecutive Player of the Month awards, with Kamada recognised for his outstanding performances in September and October 2025. He was particularly influential in the 3-0 win away to Liverpool, where he helped orchestrate the moves that led to two of our goals.

One

Goal in Europe, but it was a memorable one with Kamada scoring in Palace’s semi-final first-leg victory over Shakhtar Donetsk last season.

Six

Goals scored across his first 100 appearances for Palace.

1,790

Passes completed in the Premier League, which is an impressive completion rate of 84%.

2nd

Kamada became only the second Asian player to score for Palace in the Premier League, following South Korea’s Lee Chung-yong, with the Japanese midfielder reaching the milestone by scoring in the 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest a couple of weeks ago.
