Selection

In June 2020 he succeeded Michio Matsui, President for about 25 years, as Representative Director and President. The promotion came one year and two months after he became Senior Managing Director in April 2019, and 14 years after joining mid-career in April 2006. Operating revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2020, the year before he took office, was ¥24.2 billion, having fallen for three straight years from ¥32.2 billion in the FY ended March 2018. Ordinary profit over the same period halved from ¥18.6 billion to ¥9.0 billion.

Initiatives

Operating revenue, ¥24.2 billion the year before he took office, rose 2.2-fold to ¥52.7 billion in the fiscal year ended March 2026. Ordinary profit grew from ¥9.0 billion to ¥23.8 billion and net income from ¥6.1 billion to ¥15.5 billion. Right after he took office, however, revenue was flat at ¥30.4 billion in the FY ended March 2022 and ¥29.6 billion in the FY ended March 2023, and sustained growth began only with ¥36.8 billion in the FY ended March 2024.
