Koei Tecmo, a renowned name in the Japanese gaming industry, has announced a significant leadership change with Hisashi Koinuma stepping up as the new CEO. His appointment is set to take effect on April 1st, 2025. Before this, Koinuma made his mark as the chief operating officer and played pivotal roles as the president and general manager of the company’s entertainment division.
In a bid to streamline operations and enhance focus, the company has decided to split into two distinct entities: Koei Tecmo Games and Koei Tecmo Corporate Finance. This move is part of their ambitious plan to reinforce their global standing.
“Koei Tecmo is driven by the mission to ascend as the leading digital entertainment company across the globe, encapsulating our core values of ‘creativity and contribution’,” the company conveyed in a message to its shareholders.
In preparing for this leadership transition, we’ve been thoughtfully planning and strategizing, engaging with our Nomination and Compensation Committee to ensure a seamless shift to the next generation of management.
The introduction of this new management structure from the fiscal year 2025 is a deliberate step toward amplifying both growth and profitability for our entire group, according to the company’s forward-looking strategy.
