Shuichi Okuhara

Mr. Shuichi Okuhara is qualified as a certified public accountant and has professional expertise in finance and accounting. We believe that he will be able to carry out audits suitable for the continually changing business environment based on his experience as Board member of Nippon Venture Capital Co., Ltd. in a social environment that places importance on peer or cross-industrial partnerships. We therefore elected him as an outside corporate auditor.
