Background

He joined Isuzu Motors in April 1986 and from May 2015 led the local subsidiary as President of Isuzu Motors India. He became an Executive Officer in April 2019 and, as Managing Executive Officer from April 2021, oversaw the LCV (light commercial vehicle) business. He joined the board in June 2022, became Group CFO in April 2023, and also took on the CSO role in April 2024, handling both finance and strategy.

Education: Waseda University, Faculty of Education (1986)

Selection

Succeeding Shinsuke Minami, he became Representative Director, President and CEO in April 2026, three years and ten months after joining the board and three years after taking on the Group CFO role. In the most recent fiscal year, ended March 2025, consolidated net sales were ¥3,208.0 billion and operating income ¥229.5 billion, both down from the previous year. The appointment appears to have applied his experience—from an overseas subsidiary and the LCV business to finance and strategy—to running the company amid falling profits.
