Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Korea announced on September 23 that it has appointed Yujiro Igarashi as its new CEO. Igarashi will lead the Korean subsidiary alongside President Im Hoon, focusing on strengthening the company's competitiveness in the domestic imaging market.
Igarashi joined Fujifilm in 1997 and has built a career in the imaging business through various roles at the headquarters and in the UK and US subsidiaries. He initially handled commercial operations in the UK before moving to the headquarters' electronic imaging division, where he was responsible for product planning, expanding his expertise in product strategy and business.
In 2013, he transferred to Fujifilm's US subsidiary, overseeing the electronic imaging and optical devices business, eventually becoming the senior vice president in charge of the imaging business. Since 2021, he has led the global imaging business as the head of the professional imaging group and division at the headquarters.
Fujifilm Korea plans to leverage Igarashi's international experience and Im Hoon's expertise in the domestic market to expand its operations in Korea. The company aims to increase engagement with local customers while continuing to promote photography and video culture.
On September 4, Fujifilm Korea launched the 'XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR,' a super telephoto prime lens for the X series, as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its camera and lens lineup.
Igarashi stated, "Korea is an important market with a deep interest and affection for photography and video, as well as high expectations for new imaging experiences. I will listen to the voices of users and contribute to the development of the domestic photography and video culture."
