Profile

Born May 27, 1940 in Chikuma, Nagano-ken, Tatsumi (nicknamed Tom) finished high school at Nagano HS in 1959 and Business Administration at Meiji University in 1963.

In 1969, he became Sansui Electric's director until 1988, the year he founded TY Limited (then Thomas Yoda Limited).

Still in 1988, Yoda, with Max Matsuura and Kazunari "Ken" Suzuki, founded Avex Group, one of Japan's biggest names in music and entertainment.

In 1999, he joined Gaga Communications as a director.

Due to a feud with Matsuura over unknown circumstances, Yoda resigned as Avex's chairman in 2004,[1] but reappointed as honorary chairman until 2005.

As of now, he has his own entertainment company called TY Entertainment.

Aside from Avex and Sansui:

gollark: Don't *be* that person, and actually wear one?
gollark: I would be somewhat annoyed if someone I was meeting with seemed to not care if I got infected or not.
gollark: Generally, if stuff gets written into law that way it ends up losing nuance.
gollark: Lots of stuff cannot particularly be done as WFH, so in most cases you probably cannot just stay home conveniently.
gollark: ... work?
