Konami Digital Entertainment has announced a new president: Tomohiro Uesugi, who until now had been the executive vice president of this company. The Japanese have made the following statement on his appointment:
"I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to be the head of our talented and passionate employees, and I have a deep respect for our community of fans. We will focus on our talent and our iconic brands as we continue to deliver innovative products to even more experiences for our customers deep and enjoyable. "
Mr. Uesugi has a good reputation as a manager of human resources and finance. This experience will provide an interesting perspective to help Konami and, presumably, to extend their brands and improve sales in North America, Central and South.
