What to weigh

Watch 4

  • No finance, treasury or accounting post appears in his disclosed career before he took over the Finance & Accounting HQ in June 2024; his Starzen roles were HR, planning and administrationsrc
  • He took over finance and accounting in June 2024, five months after a special investigation found fictitious circular transactions and fictitious inventory at a sales office; the remediation named stronger accounting checks and inventory counts, which now sit in his remitsrc
  • Bank borrowing has risen: short-term, current and long-term loans reached ¥54.5bn at March 2026 against ¥34.3bn two years earlier (plus ¥5bn of bonds both years), while operating cash flow was -¥2.26bn and ¥2.95bn in the last two fiscal yearssrc
  • Pay is disclosed only in aggregate for the inside directors; no individual figure, and the KPI behind the performance-linked cash was not readsrc
