The Japan Business Federation said Monday Masakazu Tokura, chairman of Sumitomo Chemical Co., will replace Hiroaki Nakanishi as the head of a powerful business lobby on June 1, due to Nakanishi’s ongoing battle with lymphoma.
Tokura, 70, will assume the post when the lobby, also known as Keidanren, holds a regular general meeting next month.
Nakanishi, 75, who is also executive chairman of industrial conglomerate Hitachi Ltd., has been hospitalized since last July due to a recurrence of lymphoma but had continued working remotely.
