Message from Founder
Passing on management to a new generation
Chairman, Representative Director
I founded Sammy Industry Co., Ltd, the forerunner to Sammy Corporation, in 1975, taking the first step forward as a business owner. In 2004, SEGA and Sammy merged to establish SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS, and since then I have directed and led the SEGA SAMMY Group.
Today’s entertainment market trends are changing rapidly and technology is progressing dramatically. In an era of transformation in which contents that nobody has ever experienced are generated day by day, the vitality and sensibility of the younger generation is essential in order to ensure the further growth of the SEGA SAMMY Group. In April 2021, I passed on the CEO’s baton to Haruki Satomi as the leader who will drive us through this era.
Nonetheless, I believe that the decision-making criteria and set of values that I have cultivated through my experiences thus far are universal, and that they can be of considerable help to the Group in this era of transformation. By passing on these capabilities to the next generations I will promote growth in humanity and managemental prowess of our employees and foster human resources who can lead each business field.
In the spirit of the values “Creativity is Genesis” and “Always Proactive, Always Pioneering” the SEGA SAMMY Group has always taken on challenges. In an era of high uncertainty and rapid changes too, I am confident that if each and every member of the SEGA SAMMY Group can maximize their knowledge and continue to provide innovative products and services with flair and passion, we will be able to bring dreams and captivating experiences to people across the world and further expand the entertainment industry as its leading company.
We would like to ask our investors and stakeholders for their continued support.
