Background
He joined HORIBA in September 1972. He became a Director in June 1982 and Senior Managing Director in June 1988, reaching the presidency a little over 19 years after joining. Among the top ten major shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 2014, Masao Horiba ranked sixth with 2.70% and he himself eighth with 1.91%—two individuals listed alongside trust banks and overseas funds.
Selection
He became Representative Director and President in January 1992, 19 years and 4 months after joining in September 1972 and 3 years and 7 months after becoming Senior Managing Director in June 1988. The list of past presidents begins with him, and there is no record of a predecessor. The annual securities reports say nothing about how he was appointed, so the background of the decision cannot be traced.
Initiatives
In June 2005 he became Representative Director, Chairman and President, holding both posts. Consolidated net sales grew from ¥104.5 billion in the fiscal year ended December 2009 to ¥171.9 billion in FY ended December 2015, and operating income from ¥5.1 billion to ¥20.1 billion. In January 2018 he handed the presidency to Masayuki Adachi and became Representative Director, Chairman and Group CEO.
