Monster Hunter Series Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto Promoted to Chief Product Officer of Capcom’s Development Divisions

Capcom has announced significant leadership changes, with Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto being promoted to Chief Product Officer (CPO) in charge of Development Divisions. The promotion is part of a broader restructuring of Capcom’s executive team effective April 1, 2025.

Tsujimoto, who previously served as Director and Executive Corporate Officer with deputy responsibility for Development Divisions, will now take full control of Capcom’s development operations. He succeeds Yoichi Egawa, who will be stepping down from his current position and is scheduled to assume the role of Chairman at Enterrise CO., LTD, a Capcom subsidiary.

The leadership change comes following Egawa’s planned resignation as director of Capcom, which will be finalized at the company’s 46th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2025. During his tenure, Egawa oversaw both Development Divisions and Pachinko & Pachislo Business Divisions. Tsujimoto is well-known for his work on the Monster Hunter franchise, one of Capcom’s most successful properties. As a member of Capcom’s board, he will continue to shape the company’s development strategy in his expanded role.
