Sony Corp. will see a leadership change as Kenichiro Yoshida steps down as CEO after seven years. He will be succeeded by Hiroki Totoki, the current CFO, starting in April. Under Yoshida's leadership, Sony transformed into a major entertainment company, with games, music, and movies generating over 60% of its revenue, significantly increasing from previous years. Sony has made strategic acquisitions to bolster its content offerings, including purchasing Crunchyroll and seeking a larger stake in Kadokawa, demonstrating its commitment to expanding its entertainment portfolio.
