Bushiroad announced on July 28, 2026, a new management structure in which founder and current president Takaaki Kido will become chairman and director Yuki Nemoto will become president. With the rapid evolution of AI and other changes in the business environment, the generational shift is being brought forward by one year from the original plan. Going forward, Kido will focus on the company's original card game business and launching new content while also handling external roles, while new president Nemoto will exercise management skills centered on execution. The new structure shifts from management by the founder alone to decision-making by the entire management team, aiming for further growth of the card game business and the creation of new content.
