Shofu Inc. ( (JP:7979) ) just unveiled an update.
Shofu Inc. has announced a significant renewal of its top management structure, prompted by its internal retirement age rules and a planned generational transition. The board has approved the creation of CEO, CFO and CSO roles to strengthen execution and clarify executive authority, with President and COO Tetsuo Takami becoming President and CEO, while Takahiro Umeda advances to Representative Director and Executive Vice President, CFO, overseeing finance and the nail business, effective June 24, 2026.
In parallel, the company is reshaping its board and executive ranks, promoting Ryuichi Yoshimoto and Hiroyoshi Miyake to director roles with responsibility for R&D, quality, marketing, information systems and general affairs. Two new outside directors, Kensuke Iizuka and Shingo Ono, will join as several incumbents, including Chairman Noriyuki Negoro and multiple outside directors and an auditor, resign, slightly reducing the number of auditors while remaining in compliance with legal and charter requirements.
