Background
He joined Mitsui & Co. in April 1980, became Executive Officer in April 2011, Managing Executive Officer in April 2013 and Senior Executive Managing Officer in April 2016. In March 2018 he moved to MODEC as Director and Executive Vice President, shifting to running an operating company after 38 years at the trading house. As of the fiscal year ended December 2014, Mitsui & Co. was the second-largest shareholder with 14.86% of issued shares, behind Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding at 50.13%.
Selection
In April 2021 he succeeded Yuji Kozai as president, three years after joining MODEC as Director and Executive Vice President in March 2018. In his first year, the fiscal year ended December 2021, the company posted an operating loss of ¥35.0 billion and a net loss of ¥50.4 billion on consolidated net sales of ¥429.3 billion. The change took place amid a loss-making year.
Initiatives
From a net loss of ¥50.4 billion in the fiscal year ended December 2021, the company returned to profit for two consecutive years, with net income of ¥5.0 billion in FY ended December 2022 and ¥13.7 billion in FY ended December 2023. Control by the Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding parent, which held 50.13% in FY ended December 2014, gave way by FY ended December 2025, after he left, to a shareholder lineup of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines at 15.00%, Mitsui & Co. at 14.86% and Mitsui E&S at 3.66%. This reshuffling progressed during his tenure.
