Shigenobu Nagamori

Founder of Nidec Corporation (1973), the world's largest manufacturer of small precision motors — critical for robotic joint actuation, EVs, and industrial automation. Built Nidec through decades of aggressive bolt-on acquisitions into a global motor giant. Returned as CEO in 2022 amid a share-price plunge before stepping down from the board in December 2025 and resigning as Chairman Emeritus in February 2026 amid an accounting-scandal investigation involving a Chinese subsidiary.
