Viz Media gets new president

Viz Media’s Dragon Ball

The European arm of US-based Japanese animation provider Viz Media has appointed a new president.

Kazuyoshi Takeuchi, formerly the president of Shodensha Publishing in Tokyo, will take over from Hyoe Narita, who has held the role at Viz Media Europe (VME) for the past five years.

VME credited Narita with implementing the strategy that allowed the company to launch properties such as Yo-Kai Watch, Doraemon, One Piece, Dragon Ball and Beyblade on the European animation market.

Narita will continue to provide services to the VME group as executive advisor, while Takeuchi will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations in Europe, based in Paris.
