Background
He joined Mitsubishi Estate in May 1970. He served as General Manager of the Secretarial Department from June 1996, of the Planning Department from January 1998 and of the Corporate Planning Department in the Planning Division from April 2000, and became a Director in June 2000. In April 2004 he took charge of the overseas business as Senior Executive Officer, and he became President in June 2005. In the fiscal year ended March 2006, the year after he took office, the largest shareholder was The Master Trust Bank of Japan with 4.96%, followed by Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance with 4.19% and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ with 3.16%.
Selection
He became President in June 2005, succeeding Shigeru Takagi. Just before, he had been in charge of the overseas business as Director and Senior Executive Officer. In the fiscal year ended March 2005, the year before he took office, consolidated revenue was ¥775.3 billion and operating income ¥118.2 billion. The handover came as construction of the second Shin-Marunouchi Building was under way following the second Marunouchi Building opened in 2002, and while the company held Towa Real Estate, in which his predecessor had taken a stake.
Initiatives
The second Shin-Marunouchi Building was completed in 2007. Its retail zone had about 16,000 square meters of total store space and 153 shops, more than the Marunouchi Building's 140. Towa Real Estate, in which the company had taken a stake in 2005, became a consolidated subsidiary through a share issue it underwrote in 2008 and a wholly owned subsidiary in 2009. In January 2011 the company set up Mitsubishi Estate Residence, combining the housing businesses of Towa Real Estate and Mitsubishi Estate and unifying its condominium brands under "The Parkhouse".
