Background
He joined Nipro in April 1991 and spent most of his career in the International Business Division. In June 2009 he became a Director and General Manager of the Nipro Brand Sales Department in the International Business Division; in July 2014 he became General Manager of the MP Glass Division, and in April 2016 head of the Pharma Packaging Division and the Global Strategy Office. In April 2018 he was entrusted with the European subsidiary as Representative Director and President of Nipro Europe Group Companies N.V., became Managing Director in June that year, and rose to Senior Managing Director overseeing international business and heading the International Business Division in July 2023.
Selection
He succeeded Yoshihiko Sano as President in June 2025. In the fiscal year ended March 2025, the year before he took office, net sales rose to ¥644.6 billion from ¥586.8 billion, but ordinary profit fell from ¥19.5 billion to ¥10.8 billion and net income from ¥11.1 billion to ¥5.1 billion. Promoted from Senior Managing Director after long running international business and pharma packaging, he appears to have been tasked with restoring the profitability of overseas operations.
Initiatives
In the fiscal year ended March 2026, his first full year, net sales were ¥660.5 billion, operating profit ¥37.6 billion and net income ¥13.5 billion, all above the prior year's ¥644.6 billion, ¥26.6 billion and ¥5.1 billion. One year into his tenure, the facts traceable in the annual securities report are limited to this single year's results.
