Background
He became an outside director of Sunwels in November 2025 and Representative Director and President after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in June 2026. He is not a career employee who rose through the company's businesses but an outsider who moved from outside director to President.
Selection
His predecessor was founder Akinori Nawashiro, and he is the company's first President other than the founder. In the year before his appointment, the fiscal year ended March 2026, the company posted an operating loss of ¥1.2 billion and an ordinary loss of ¥2.2 billion on revenue of ¥28.1 billion, swinging into the red from operating profit of ¥1.1 billion the previous year. Among the major shareholders, Kyo held 41.62% and Nawashiro 12.04%, so the change took place with shares still in the hands of the founder's side.
