TOKYO, Feb 27 (Pulse News Wire) -- The Nanto Bank, Ltd.

These changes were approved during a board meeting held on February 27, 2026.
The bank aims to achieve sustainable growth alongside regional development through robust management practices and talent cultivation. As the second year of its mid-term business plan launched in April 2025 begins, the bank is strengthening its governance structure by implementing these personnel adjustments and increasing the number of female external directors.

Effective March 31, 2026, several executives will be retiring or transitioning to new roles within the group. Gouda Takashi, currently serving as an Executive Director responsible for IT strategy, will take up a position as a director at Nanto Computer Services Co., Ltd. Similarly, Ohmoto Yoshikatsu, who served as the Senior Managing Director overseeing administrative support, and Inui Shiro, another Senior Managing Director in charge of sales promotion, will also leave their current positions. Inui Shiro is expected to assume the role of President and Representative Director at Nanto Research & Consulting Co., Ltd., while concurrently leading the Nara Hokua Block Headquarters and Kyoto Block Headquarters.
Starting April 1, 2026, there will be new appointments and changes in responsibilities among other executives. Sasaki Yutaka, previously heading the Legal Solutions Department, will become the General Manager of Osaka Central Branch Operations. Meanwhile, Ishizawa Hirofumi, currently managing Osaka Central Branch Operations, will shift his focus to Sales Promotion Division Deputy Head and concurrently lead both the Nara Hokua Block Headquarters and Kyoto Block Headquarters. Gotoda Akihiro, formerly the Compliance Oversight Division Chief, will now serve as the Administrative Support Division Chief.
Additionally, the bank plans to hold its 138th regular shareholders' meeting in late June 2026, where Kotonami Maoko, an external director with extensive experience in various organizations including Open House Group Corporation and Polaris Capital Group Inc., will be nominated as a candidate for a new directorship position. Following this shareholder meeting, the new organizational structure will come into effect, featuring updated roles and responsibilities across multiple departments and divisions.
This restructuring reflects the bank’s commitment to fostering a dynamic and resilient corporate environment aligned with its strategic objectives.
