Capcom's Founding
Starting as a part-time employee
I started working at Capcom as a part-time employee due to my strong interest in the family business. I then joined as a full-time employee after graduating from university in April of 1987. I support my father, the then president and current chairman, with an unwavering determination to succeed in the gaming industry.
I'll seek out anyone stronger than me.
Street Fighter II's Success
The Origin of Sales and Management
I became deeply involved in expanding Capcom's arcade facilities in an effort to support the massive hit Street Fighter II and the subsequent fighting-game boom. The experience I gained managing the daily operations of the individual locations was my basis as a businessman.
Console Games Business Direct Sales
Revolutionizing the Sales Structure
With the release of Resident Evil 2, the company gains an awareness of inventory management in the marketing industry, and transitioned to a direct sales system for its home console games. This company milestone contributed to the foundation of the current digital sales strategy.
Suggestion: Take that!
Appointed President
Single Content Multiple Usage Strategy
Upon my appointment to the position of company president, I promoted the Single Content Multiple Usage growth strategy. I also pursued global and digital business strategies in order to help guide the company toward an even brighter future.
It's only natural that a Sumo wrestler should become the World's Strongest!
