2021 would be Aito Iguchi's draft year.
He was
selected with the 104th overall pick in the United States Hockey League draft last year, but it doesn't look like he has come over to play.
He's still only 5'3 and 117 lbs, which is very small, even by Japanese standards.
His long-time teammate, Yusaku Ando, is 5'7 and 148 lbs. Ando actually played in the USHL this past year, and had 25 points in 40 games. If he picks it up this season, he could be drafted. Ando, with a September 3rd birthday, would be one of the youngest players in the draft. He seems to have already committed to Minnesota State in the NCAA for the 2021-2022 season.
Looks like he has surpassed Iguchi.
Yu Sato had only 10 points in 39 QMJHL games this past season. He didn't get drafted. He should be playing in the USHL this year.
