He also wrote that his twitter account had been opened as an individual so he would keep using it.<br \/>\nApart from the first Nikkei&#8217;s report, there are almost no news talking about this leave and abolishing of Google Japan&#8217;s president position. There seem no company release on that.

So Google Japan&#8217;s removing local president title is not a news at all.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/googlejapan.blogspot.com\/\">Google Japan&#8217;s official blog<\/a> also does not tell anything. <a href=\"http:\/\/googlejapan.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/blog-post_30.html\">The article on the April 30th<\/a> is to introduce their improved local movie search. When comparing with US companies, it is true that Japanese presidents silently leave, no last greetings on company website and\/or blog. But this is too silent even in Japan.<br \/>\nBy the way, on last month, I counted 6 president title holders on the Google&#8217;s list, but now there are only 3. Two co-founders and the president of Enterprise <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/corporate\/execs.html#daveg\">Dave Girouard<\/a>. I guess another disappeared one is Google.org&#8217;s president, but cannot remember what was the 6th one.<br \/>\nAnyway, Google&#8217;s management seem to become even flatter now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we reported last month, one of only 6 Google presidents Koichiro Tsujino left Google Japan at the end of April.
