leadership at Aflac Japan. His work in helping us obtain our
operating license in Japan more than three decades ago is just one
of his many contributions to our company. I am also appreciative of
Aki Kan's service as president of Aflac Japan over the last
two-and-a-half years. Aki's primary mission was to help us identify
the next president of Aflac Japan, and I have no doubt we have
found the right person. Through his service on our board of
directors, and more recently as deputy president of Aflac Japan,
Tohru Tonoike has demonstrated a great understanding of our
operations and business needs. Overall, I am very pleased with the
management team we have in place in Japan. I look forward to their
continued leadership in helping us capitalize on the opportunities
in Japan's insurance market." For more than 50 years, Aflac
