Tsuguoki Fujinuma

Tsuguoki Fujinuma has professional expertise in finance and accounting. He has held the important post of Chairman and Advisor of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as well as a number of public offices, and has extensive experience and broad insight as an outside director and outside corporate auditor. In the past, he has not been involved in company management in any capacity other than as an outside director or outside corporate auditor, but based on his experience as a certified public accountant, we believe that he will be able to carry out audits of the Company with higher quality from the viewpoint of finance and accounting. We therefore elected him as an outside corporate auditor.
