Yasumitsu Shigeta Biography
Yasumitsu Shigeta founded Hikari Tsushin in 1988. Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company is most widely known for selling mobile phones, from its HIT Shop chain of stores. He is CEO of the company that also sells office equipment and insurance.
Yasumitsu Shigeta’s fortune was as high as $42 billion before 2001’s dotcom crash wiped out much of his wealth. He was able to ride the storm however, and just four years later in 2005, shares in his company rebounded and he re-joined the list of Japan’s Rich List.
