Background
He joined the company in April 1987 and became Senior Managing Director at the same time. Two years later, in March 1989, he became Representative Director and Executive Vice President, spending seven years as part of the management team before rising to President in June 1994. Joining directly as Senior Managing Director differs from a promotion built up from the bottom. Among major shareholders in the fiscal year ended March 2026 were local and business-partner corporations, including San-in Godo Bank (2.37%), Torigin Lease (1.45%) and Fukuyama Transporting (1.17%), with the Kotobuki Spirits employee stockholding association holding 1.22%.
Selection
In June 1994, seven years after joining and five years as Representative Director and Executive Vice President, he became President. He was the first President, with no predecessor. Consolidated results can be traced in the annual securities reports only from the fiscal year ended March 2006, and that earliest snapshot shows consolidated sales of ¥13.6 billion and operating profit of ¥0.9 billion.
Initiatives
Looking at the period traceable in figures, from FY ended March 2006, consolidated sales grew 5.8-fold from ¥13.6 billion to ¥78.8 billion in FY ended March 2026, and operating profit from ¥0.9 billion to ¥18.6 billion. In FY ended March 2021, when tourist flows disappeared, sales fell to ¥23.2 billion with an operating loss of ¥2.9 billion, but by FY ended March 2023 sales were ¥50.2 billion with operating profit of ¥10.0 billion, and in FY ended March 2025 ¥72.3 billion and ¥17.6 billion, exceeding the pre-COVID ¥45.2 billion and ¥6.5 billion of FY ended March 2020.
