Selection

In June 2002 he was promoted from Representative Director and Executive Vice President to Representative Director and President. In the year before his appointment, the fiscal year ended March 2002, consolidated revenue was ¥291.3 billion and ordinary profit ¥29.3 billion. His successor Keizo Zaitsu took 31 years from joining in 1968 to reach the board, and Managing Director Yukio Kinugasa 33 years from joining in 1973, so Inoue's 30 years falls within the same range.

Consolidated revenue grew from ¥291.3 billion in the fiscal year ended March 2002 to ¥372.3 billion in the FY ended March 2009, but net income fell from ¥19.0 billion the previous year to ¥1.7 billion.
