Not entirely sure how relevant this is but thought it sounded interesting. Given recent comments by wrestlers both current and former about the relationship with upper management being poor, I'm curious to know if this has been established to help with this issue.
Quote from the article & Okada themselves:
"New Japan Pro-Wrestling Co., Ltd. will establish a new “Management Strategy Headquarters” on February 1st in order to strengthen strategic marketing in order to further expand its business.
The head of the division will be Director Taro Okada (President of Stardom Co., Ltd.).
Okada wrote, “I’m sorry for causing you any worry with the Lion Mark announcement! Though it has a grandiose name like Management Strategy Headquarters, it’s a department dedicated to firmly supporting the best New Japan Pro-Wrestling both in the ring and on the front lines. We appreciate your continued support for New Japan Pro-Wrestling!!"
