The company also promoted Keiichi Sawa, the operating officer for Nippon TV’s global business development (including the international business development), to board director and operating officer for the same division, due to significant growth in its international business.
Sugiyama has replaced Yoshinobu Kosugi, who has become the company’s new vice chairman and senior executive operating officer.
Kako Kuwahara heads the Anime Department, and the company promoted her from managing director of the international business division to executive vice president of business development.
