Warner Music Japan President and CEO Kaz Kobayashi to Step Down
Warner Music Japan's longtime president and CEO Kaz Kobayashi is stepping down.
His successor will be announced soon, and he is currently working with Dr. Kenji Kitatani, the newly appointed chairman of Warner Music Japan, on a transition plan. Kobayashi, who took over in 2014 after a lengthy run at Sony, has played a key role in the success of artists like Aimyon, THE YELLOW MONKEY, TWICE, MISAMO, and ONE OK ROCK. “Not only did he deliver outstanding results for artists as a business executive, but he also earned great respect for building deep trust and fostering friendships with them,” said Simon Robson, president of international recorded music.
