Japanese gaming publisher and developer Konami has announced a major promotion that will see two key staffers take on different positions around the company. Former global business planning and management executive Tomoyuki Tsuboi will be taking on the president position for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
The former holder of that position, Shinji Hirano, will be taking on the same position at Konami Digital Entertainment, GmbH (Europe).
Tsuboi has been with Konami for over 14 years now, helping to work in multiple facets of the business. He has worked on Metal Gear Solid, Pro Evolution Soccer and Silent Hill. His new responsibilities will see him focus on all things Konami for the Western markets, notably in digital and social arenas.
"My goal is to build upon the momentum the entire Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. staff has built for our company," said Tsuboi. "We plan to intensify this momentum by continuing to innovate across our core franchises and creating those memorable gaming experiences that has been synonymous with Konami over the past four decades."
