Having gained management experience outside, he joined mid-career and reached the presidency 12 years after joining.
Selection
In September 2019 he succeeded Koji Ohara as Representative Director, President and CEO. In the fiscal year ended June 2019, just before he took office, net sales were ¥1,328.9 billion and operating income ¥63.1 billion, up 41% from ¥941.5 billion the year before, with sales topping ¥1 trillion for the first time.
