At a meeting of its board of directors, Banpresto has appointed its current vice president Takashi Nakada to succeed Tsuchita Goka as its president. The 55-year old Nakada is a 37-year Bandai veteran, who assumed his current position at the Bandai subsidary and maker of the popular Super Robot Taisen series only last year. Nakada will be officially confirmed in his new position at a shareholders meeting in June.
