I wish to live my life by rewarding benefits I received with respects toward peoples, believing my strong lucky and thanking to good bonds with love. I want to raise my Total Leadership in the relationships with all of people such as my family, company staffs, customers whom I met through business, especially my relatives.

“鬼手” means “Demon’s hands”. “仏心” means “Buddha’s heart”.
“Demon’s hand” is profit supreme management that secures strong competitiveness by a tough decision and a thorough rationalization strategy and aims to expand and improve profitability, and “Buddha heart” is important to the customer and employee’s human heart. It is human-oriented management.
Seeing, however, the two are contradicting each other, I dare to say “Damon’s hand” should be prioritized than “Buddha”. I believe that the leader who cannot secure profits through the mission of sustainable prosperity of the company has no qualification to use “Buddha”.
On the contrary, the ultimate goal of corporate activities is obviously “Buddha”, that should be the management based on fostering the people. With this philosophy I am convinced that management should be to strive the ultimate harmony for both polarities, and to realize the primitive happiness of the human beings for our customers and staffs.

Fair evaluation on staffs all the more will end up the difference in their compensation. Also, it is more important NOT to overlook the good achievers rather than to miss the people who made mistake.

NOBLE STUBBORNNESS ―――”Dignified persistence”
This is a motto of my alma mater. My style appears when there is a difficult situation or needed to stick it.

Belief that human nature is fundamentally “weakness” (2010-2020)
Originally human beings are weak, not “good” or “evil”, I interact with NEURON members in a way that acknowledges their natural weaknesses, while working to draw out their strengths.
Belief that human nature is fundamentally “suitability” (2020-)
Working hard in a given position is certainly important. However, human beings naturally have areas where they are well‑suited and others where they are not.
From this perspective, we strive to identify the right role for each NEURON member so they can fully demonstrate their strengths.
