On 24 May 2019, Maeda was called by

to feature in the

Style of play
[
edit
]
Though primarily and initially used by both
Matsumoto Yamaga
and
Yokohama F. Marinos
as a
left winger
, Maeda is able to operate in a number of positions as a
forward
, including on the opposite flank, as an
attacking midfielder
or occasionally a
second striker
. Regarding his stamina and conditioning, former coach
John Hutchinson
referred to Maeda as a "machine", while
Arthur Papas
, who also coached Maeda during his time at Yokohama, hailed his pace and sprinting.
