Yuji Nishiura, Director
There is a word which means to change shape through undergoing ecdysis in
the growth process, as insects do. Figuratively speaking, I think the Square Enix
Group may be right in the middle of metamorphosis.
I feel honored to have been appointed director during such an important
time, and I am also keenly aware of the weight of my responsibilities. The world
of game software is an unfamiliar territory for me. That said, I have experienced
many other industries in the past, including finance, energy, transportation and
electronics, and I have had the privilege of witnessing the “rebirth” of many
corporations.
Based on this experience, I consider it my duty to introduce new perspec-
tives to the management of the Square Enix Group. I would be grateful if I could
make a contribution to the Square Enix Group’s efforts to “create the future” in
any way.
