Kansai Paint Co., Ltd. announced a broad reshuffle of its directors and executive officers, effective April 1, 2026, as part of a reorganization of key business segments and corporate functions. The changes include shifting Takashi Tomioka to lead both the finance function and a new business unit, while Yoichi Takata becomes Head of Head Office and Chief of Corporate Management and Administration, signaling a tighter integration of head office oversight and corporate governance.

Regional leadership has been realigned, with Pravin D. Chaudhari and Prejay R.
