Kyogo admits last season was 'frustrating' for him at Celtic.
The Hoops fans' favourite has enjoyed a highly successful period during his three-year stay in Glasgow so far.
He's won three Scottish Premiership titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups since his move from the J-League in 2021.
He won two of those trophies under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers last season.
However, the 29-year-old didn't quite hit the heights he did under previous manager Ange Postecoglou, and he admits that was highly frustrating for him.
Speaking to Daisuke Nasu's 'Sushi Talk' YouTube channel, Kyogo said: "It was a difficult season. Compared to last year, I didn't score as many goals.
"There were times when I couldn't play in the games and there were times when I had to start in the middle of a game.
"It was a frustrating season, but it didn't end with that kind of frustration. Changing my position expanded the range of my game, and I was able to experience many different things. I had a lot of different experiences, and I think I grew one more step. Instead of focusing on the bad things, I think positively that I was able to grow and take another step forward."

Meanwhile, the Green Brigade have issued another plea to Celtic supporters ahead of the club's official Celtic FC Fans' Survey deadline later today.
The unofficial fan group desires the club to rework the current stadium seating layout in order to facilitate a larger behind-the-goal standing section, which would require a large portion of existing season ticket holders in the Jock Stein stand to relocate.
In conjunction with likeminded unofficial fan group The Bhoys, the Green Brigade launched 'The Celtic End' last year – a fan-led initiative which is indirectly addressed within the Celtic FC Fans' Survey, to which both groups wish fans to address favourably in their responses.
