Almost every one of Nintendo's shareholders seems happy with the not-so-new company president, Tatsumi Kimishima. The Kyoto-based company's value in the stock market and profits have bounced back during the second year under his leadership following the sad passing of Satoru Iwata.
Console, portable and even mobile markets are doing well, while at the same time the company has done a good job of broadening its scope with new IP agreements with third parties as they look to expand into new areas.
That is why Kimishima's approval rating soared more than 10% in the last annual shareholder meeting. 97.70% greenlit the new president, up ahead of last year's approval rating of 87.14%. He is now the best-rated of the five directors that have been elected to the company's Board of Directors.
Then there is Shigeru Miyamoto, the beloved creator of Mario, who has a 97.59% approval rating. Shinya Takahashi, Shuntaro Furukawa and Ko Shiota got a 97.65% of positive votes, while Genyo Takeda left the board as was announced back in April. Basically, nearly everyone is happy with the way things are going. Are you?
