Background
He joined Sekisui House in April 1988. He became an Executive Officer in April 2014, in his 27th year with the company, and Director and Managing Executive Officer in April 2016. In February 2018, in his 30th year, he became Representative Director and President, four years after becoming an Executive Officer. In April 2021 he became President, Chief Executive Officer and CEO, so the President also held the CEO role.
Selection
In February 2018 he succeeded Toshinori Abe as Representative Director and President, and Abe became Representative Director and Chairman. The promotion came two years after he became Director and Managing Executive Officer, in his 30th year with the company. The change was triggered by the question of responsibility for a fraudulent transaction involving a condominium site: at the board meeting of January 24, 2018, motions including the dismissal of then-Chairman Isamu Wada were made, a change of chair and revisions to the board rules were approved, and the Chairman's resignation was then unanimously accepted. In the fiscal year ended January 2018, just before, consolidated net sales were ¥2,159.3 billion and operating profit ¥195.5 billion, with sales up ¥132.4 billion from the previous year, so the change was not due to poor results.
Initiatives
Consolidated net sales in the fiscal year ended January 2025, reflecting an acquisition, were ¥4,058.5 billion, up ¥951.3 billion from ¥3,107.2 billion the previous year. Operating profit was ¥331.4 billion. In FY ended January 2026 net sales were ¥4,197.9 billion and operating profit ¥341.4 billion, about 1.9 times the ¥2,159.3 billion of FY ended January 2018, just before he took office.
