Since our founding in 1964, we have consistently poured our passion into achieving the greatest sounds and visuals. Through the refinement of our technology, we create unprecedented experiences that enrich people’s hearts. Our Group purpose of “Creating Emotions Around the World with Sounds and Visuals” embodies this unchanging mission.

We explore the potential of sounds and visuals to continuously present new value to the world. The source of this continuous “challenge” is none other than the power of “people” who are passionate about their work and committed to quality. Many of our employees turn their “passions” into their careers. Surpassing imagination. Exceeding expectations. The relentless drive of our Group of more than 1,800 employees is at the core of Hibino’s strength in the field.

I believe that, as CEO, I have a responsibility to identify the future direction in which the Group should proceed from a broad perspective, draw up a Grand Design aimed at sustainable growth, harness the capabilities of these distinctive individuals to create and deliver “emotions” around the world, and by doing so, ensure the Group remains an indispensable entity that contributes widely to society.

By uniting diverse and unique one-of-a-kind companies that mutually enhance each other to create a robust corporate group, we will accelerate Hibino’s unique “honeycomb-type management” strategy on a global scale, thereby realizing our vision of “For a Global Hibino.”

In June 2026, I was appointed as President and COO. I feel humbled by the weight of Hibino’s history that has been passed down for more than 60 years since it was established.

For many years, I was engaged in management as Vice President under the current Chairman, and observed his management approach closely. By always setting high goals, the Chairman has encouraged innovative ideas not limited to traditional practices while valuing the approach of taking a step back when assessing critical judgments. As President and COO, I will implement the Group’s management direction set by the Chairman and CEO through specific strategies and actionable business plans.

One other aspect that I feel the Chairman has consistently valued is the attitude of prioritizing “people.” Hibino has respected opinions from the field and incorporated those voices into our decision making. The essence of the “sound management” we advocate is the ideology of valuing people. It does not stop at generating profits and strengthening our financial structure, but rewards employees with the results and transforms those achievements into power for the next challenge. By further enhancing this cycle, we aim to connect it to the sustainable growth and enhancement of corporate value for the Hibino Group.

Hibino Group’s strength lies in the high level of expertise possessed by our individual departments and the self-reliant professionalism of each and every employee. Connecting these exceptional capabilities horizontally and transforming them into the collective strength of the Group will be my utmost mission. I promise that in the coming era, the Hibino Group will continue to be an “indispensable professional partner” that supports the greatest emotions.
