It's been announced that Shuntaro Furukawa will replace Tatsumi Kimishima as the President of Nintendo.
Nintendo has been contemplating and implementing the concept of younger generations taking over key roles within the company for years now, and this is a huge step in that direction. The 68 year old Kimishima will be making way for the 46 year old Furukawa, who has held numerous management positions within the company, despite not being that well-known to the gaming community at large.
What do you think about this move? Will a younger leader cause drastic changes within the company?

Furukawa is 46, not 56, which is quite a young age to be leading such a large company. Hopefully a younger president will help Nintendo to modernize :)
What roles has he held? The age difference will matter of course, but the real difference will be in his experience.

Sometimes Nintendo seems very out of touch with their customers, at least those of us in the west. Maybe younger leadership can help with that.
Hes looks like a younger Kimishima.
"Younger" leader. I guess on a technicality, he's younger.
