Satoru Kishi, president of the scandal-tainted Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, said in a recent interview with The Japan Times that he was against his reappointment April 21 as head of the nation's banking federation.
"I wanted to be given a break if there was anyone to succeed me," he said. However, since no other candidate could be found, he grudgingly accepted the federation's decision to keep him.
