MUFG outlines a planned CEO succession with continuity at the chairman level.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group is transitioning leadership so that, effective April 1, 2026, Hironori Kamezawa becomes Chairman while Junichi Hanzawa assumes the role of President & Group CEO (Representative Corporate Executive). The company explicitly frames these as regular changes in corporate executives, signaling an orderly succession rather than a sudden shift.

Hanzawa’s biography shows decades of experience across corporate planning, compliance and legal oversight, and as President & CEO of MUFG Bank, along with ownership of 236,500 ordinary shares as of September 30, 2025. This background suggests familiarity with group-wide strategy and risk management.
