To all KIMOTO fans

I look forward to your continued support in 2016.

This year, we are celebrating our 64th anniversary, thanks to your support. We have overcome many difficulties so far, and it is all thanks to the support and cooperation of our business partners, shareholders, employees, and many others involved. We are filled with gratitude.

We are still struggling with the poor performance that has continued since mid-2014, but we have received tremendous support from many people. Thank you very much. We are deeply grateful to everyone.

Not only our senior employees but also many of our next-generation employees are growing, so we would appreciate your continued warm support. We will work together as a company to recover our performance as soon as possible.

On a personal note, I will turn 60 this year. As a man of the year, I will strive to be of some help to KIMOTO fans and society. I look forward to your continued support in the future.

thank you everybody.
