Takara CEO Satoh Keita talks about his challenges in a rather downbeat Japan Times article. Unfortunately, there’s nothing exciting to report.
The CEO does explain his risky “what do you really, really want to do” strategy circa 2000 was aimed at boosting employee morale. (He didn’t elaborate but Takara watchers will know employee morale was at a low following the unsuccessful tenure of Satoh’s by-the-book older brother, Hirohisa.)
The article also mentions Takara’s upcoming hero character line (this would no doubt be the sentai line mentioned by Zinc Panic) but exasperatingly, no details are provided.
