Background
He joined JACCS as an Executive Officer in June 2016. He became Senior Executive Officer in June 2018 and Director and Managing Executive Officer in June 2022, and that same month Representative Director, President and COO. It took him six years from joining to become President, a different path from his predecessor Toru Yamazaki, who joined in 1982 and needed 36 years.
Selection
In June 2022 he succeeded Toru Yamazaki as Representative Director, President and COO, and Yamazaki became Representative Director, Chairman and CEO. In the fiscal year ended March 2022, the year before he took office, operating revenue was ¥164.1 billion, ordinary profit ¥26.8 billion and net income ¥18.3 billion, all above the prior year. Appointing a mid-career hire after six years appears to have been a decision based on criteria other than the seniority of career employees.
Initiatives
MUFG Bank raised its stake to about 40% and, as of the fiscal year ended March 2026, is the largest shareholder with 39.41%. The company switched to a mid-term management plan shifting its business toward auto finance. Operating revenue rose from ¥164.1 billion in the FY ended March 2022, the year before he took office, to ¥192.3 billion in the FY ended March 2026. Ordinary profit peaked at ¥33.1 billion in the FY ended March 2024 and fell for two straight years, to ¥25.7 billion in the FY ended March 2025 and ¥20.4 billion in the FY ended March 2026.
