TOKYO — BrainPad Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market under code number 3655, announced today that its board has appointed candidates for directors to be nominated at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting scheduled for February 26, 2026.
The company's representative director and CEO, Tomohiro Sekiguchi, made this announcement following a board meeting held on January 27, 2026. The new appointments include three individuals who will serve as non-audit committee members of the board. These appointees bring extensive industry experience and broad perspectives to support the ongoing integration between BrainPad and Fujitsu Ltd., which initiated an open tender offer for all outstanding shares of BrainPad excluding treasury stocks.
The first candidate is Keiichiro Nishi, born June 4, 1977. He joined Mitsubishi Corporation in April 2000 before moving through various leadership roles within other companies such as Globis Corporation and Fuji Xerox. Most recently, he served as Co-head and Senior Vice President (SVP) in the CEO Office at Fujitsu until his current role as SVP and Director of the CEO Office since April 2024.
The second candidate is Tatsushi Fujii, born March 15, 1976. Fujii began his career at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Consulting in April 2000 and progressed through several executive positions including Partner and Chief Value Officer. Since joining Fujitsu in April 2024, he has been serving as Strategic Planning Co-Head and SVP of Global Solutions Business Group, and currently holds the position of Strategy & Transformation Head since April 2025.
The third candidate is Hidenori Ito, also born July 17, 1976. His career started at Fujitsu in April 1999 where he rose through management ranks across various divisions focusing on electronics systems and solutions. Currently, he serves as Cross Industry Solution Business Division Head at Fujitsu.
These appointments follow the successful completion of Fujitsu’s tender offer for BrainPad shares, resulting in ownership of 18,044,811 shares representing 86.30%. Despite not acquiring all shares via the tender offer, Fujitsu plans to proceed with share consolidation to make BrainPad a wholly-owned subsidiary. The newly appointed directors are expected to play pivotal roles in advancing the operational integration and strategic alignment between both entities.
