Background
He joined JustSystems in June 1983 and became a Director three years later, in June 1986. He became Managing Director in June 1995, Director in March 1998 and Managing Director again in June 1999, and from April 2003 headed the Business Application Product Development Department. A career employee who held successive product development posts, he owned 1,150,000 shares at the end of the fiscal year ended March 2009.
Selection
In June 2009 he became President, succeeding founder Kazunori Ukigawa. In April 2009, two months before he took office, the company had signed a capital and business alliance agreement with Keyence, and in June 2009 three people from Keyence, Tomohide Ideno, Masayuki Miki and Kyotaro Sekinada, became Directors. In the fiscal year ended March 2011 the top shareholder was Keyence with 43.96%, followed by Kazunori Ukigawa with 9.76%. The arrangement appears to have divided roles, entrusting the presidency to an insider with long experience in development while Keyence supplied capital and directors.
