Daizen Maeda, the Celtic winger known for his lightning pace on the field, has recently caught the attention of fans and media not just for his football skills, but for something quite personal: his hairstyle.
For weeks, speculation abounded as the player, traditionally seen with a closely shaved head, began to sport a new, hairier look. The change prompted a wave of curiosity and speculation among the Celtic faithful.
The reason behind this hair-raising decision? It’s delightfully simple and touching. Speaking to the Japanese media as he prepared to represent his country, Maeda revealed the heartwarming influence behind his new look. It turns out, that the switch from a bald to a more fuzzy appearance was inspired by none other than his daughter.
‘She doesn’t like the shaved head,’ Maeda shared, explaining his daughter’s preference for a fuller head of hair. She even has a specific style in mind, favouring the hairstyle of Takumi Minamino, Maeda’s fellow countryman. This admission brought a light-heartedness to the press, as they burst into laughter at the candid revelation.
Maeda, with a smile, admitted he’s not quite ready to embrace the full Minamino look. ‘I’m not ready to wear a hairband. But if she says so, so…’ He trailed off, leaving a hint of willingness to compromise for his daughter’s wishes. ‘I’m not going to grow my hair that long, but I’d like to get out of the shaved head for now.’
This charming insight into Maeda’s life off the pitch adds a layer of relatability to the footballer, showcasing a side of him that fans don’t often see.

It’s a reminder that behind every athlete’s public persona lies a private individual, making everyday decisions influenced by their loved ones. Maeda’s new hairstyle might not be here to stay forever, but for now, it’s a sweet symbol of a father taking his daughter’s advice.
