New Celtic signing Reo Hatate was the last of the Japanese trio to arrive at Lennoxtown when he rocked up in Scotland at the end of the week.
He's been put through his paces in a first training session under the rolling hills of the Campsies.
But fans remain curious as to where he could actually play.
As a leading player for back-to-back J-League champions Kawasaki Frontale, Hatate's pedigree is obvious and Ange Postecoglou has confirmed he plans on using him in midfield primarily.
But with a number of injury concerns in the first half of the season, Hatate's versatility could come into play.
He told the club website upon his unveiling: “Being able to play in different positions has given me confidence as a footballer.
“With this team, I want to be able to bring out the best in my style of play and contribute to the attacking side of things a bit more."
So here are four ways he fits into the Premiership title hopefuls' XI.
Left back
At Kawasaki, Hatate would typically occupy a left-sided position and he could be deployed in defence off the bat.
Liam Scales has started in recent weeks but at times this season Josip Juranovic has been called upon to shift across from the right.
Boli Bolingoli and Adam Montgomery have also played there and a bit of stability is perhaps required.
Though he likes playing on the left he is actually right-footed and that could allow him to step into Postecoglou's patented inverted role.
We all know that when Celtic have the ball the full-backs tuck into more of a midfield position and it could fit Hatate's skillset nicely.
When Hatate is deployed in this position he likes to get forward and cross with most of his goals and assists coming from left-back.
Attacking midfield
Tom Rogic is enjoying a player-of-the-year calibre season with some of his best performances in a hooped jersey for some years under his former international manager.
For now he's looking sharp but a hamstring injury cropped up earlier in the season and there's the danger of being over-reliant on a man for whom, until this season, a full 90 was largely unheard of.
Rogic and David Turnbull are Postecoglou's favourite pairing as the most forward-thinking midfielders but the former Motherwell man will be out until the end of February after pulling up in the Premier Sports Cup Final.
There's question marks over whether Hatate could be whisked away for Japan international duty but Tom Rogic is almost a shoo-in for an Australia call-up in that same AFC window at the end of January.
Hatate can step into one of those two slots without having to displace Calum McGregor at the base of the midfield.
Or, as in this graphic, McGregor can join Hatate in the advanced roles while a resurgent Nir Bitton anchors.
Holding midfield
Hatate could also be relied upon as something of a water-carrier if circumstances dictate.
This is perhaps the position he's least likely to crop up in given McGregor and Bitton have both performed well in the role so far and keep largely injury free.
But if needed Hatate could comfortably slot in.
His pressing intensity would make him a pest for opposition attackers and he'd provide a little more mobility and an ability to dribble than the Israeli.
That could be useful against sides that sit in deep, low blocks against Celtic where Bitton's defensive prowess isn't required as much.
Left wing
With a fully fit frontline Hatate probably doesn't usurp electric loanee Jota.
The Portuguese has been lights out but may not be back fit when the winter break ends.
Daizen Maeda is of course now an option and it depends what position across the frontline Postecoglou sees his former Yokohama F. Marinos goal machine slotting in.
But if there is a hole in the left side Hatate could be an ideal addition.
He rarely played there for Frontale but as a member of the Japanese Olympic side that made the Tokyo 2020 semi-finals that was his position.
