Club career

Early career and Kashima Antlers

Tsunemoto began his youth career with Machida Ogawa FC; he then entered the academy of Yokohama F. Marinos, where he served as a captain in the youth ranks, before being promoted to the first team as a Type 2 player [ja] (allowing him to keep playing for the club's under-18 squad) at the start of the 2016 season. In 2017, following his graduation from high school, he committed to Meiji University, and played college football until he graduated in 2020.

On 19 June 2020, Tsunemoto started his first professional career with J1 League club Kashima Antlers, signing a contract set to be active from the 2021 season; however, he was officially registered as a designated special player by the club in September of the same year. On 11 November, he made his professional and J.League debut, coming on as a substitute for Kei Koizumi in the 79th minute of a 2–3 away win over his former club Yokohama F. Marinos.

On 27 June 2021, Tsunemoto scored his first professional goal in a 4–0 league win over Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.

Servette

On 15 July 2023, Tsunemoto joined Swiss Super League side Servette on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract with the club: in the process, he re-united with former Kashima manager René Weiler.

He made his debut for Servette on 22 July, starting and playing 90 minutes in a 3–1 league away victory over Grasshoppers. Three days later, on 25 July, he made his debut in a continental competition, starting and playing 90 minutes in an UEFA Champions League qualifying game against Genk, as the match eventually finished 1–1. On 5 October, he made his UEFA Europa League debut, starting in a 4–0 loss to Roma in the group stage.

On 24 July 2024, Tsunemoto scored his first goal for the Swiss club in a 3–1 home league win over Young Boys.

International career

Tsunemoto represented Japan at youth international level, having featured for the under-17 national team.
