Takanori Sugeno (菅野 孝憲, Sugeno Takanori, born 3 May 1984) is a Japanese football player who plays for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.
[4][5] Although considered short for a goalkeeper, standing at 178 cm, he makes up for his lack of height with superb agility and reflexes.
[6] In 2006, he was part of the Yokohama FC defense that set a J.League record when they did not concede a goal for 770 consecutive minutes, breaking Shimizu S-Pulse's 731 minutes recorded in 1993.
In 2008, he was signed by Kashiwa Reysol, a move which some consider unwise as Kashiwa already have a good and relatively young goalkeeper in Yuta Minami.
