なぜ退職した？カプコン元幹部の岡本が「カプコン愛」を貫き通すことが出来なかった大きなきっかけ

It's actually a video of his four years ago where he tells a story during the time when he was still at Capcom.

Okamoto-san starts by saying that in those days, 30 years ago, he found that there were more members from President Kenzo Tsujimoto's family in the studio than ever before.

Okamoto-san says that there were the three brothers from the family of Mr. Tsujimoto and a few more other people in high positions such as, for example, managers and executives.

So Okamoto-san asked President Tsujimoto the reason for this.

President Tsujimoto answered him that it's because family members wouldn't betray him.

Okamoto-san admits that perhaps it also meant that he himself could betray President Tsujimoto.

Next, Okamoto-san recounts that there was an incident when the president asked him if he wanted to be a board member. Okamoto-san reveals that he didn't accept the invitation the first time, but after seeing that several executives had received high positions without apt qualifications, he decided to be one, and according to Okamoto-san, he began to take on more responsibilities afterward.

Finally, Okamoto-san concludes with a story that happened before his departure from the studio. He had heard a conversation between an executive from Tsujimoto's family in the hardware division and his younger brother. The executive was teaching the newbie a trick to survive well in the company. He said that the newbie should show that a very easy task was difficult, and that he shouldn't accept it quickly.

This is all.

Thank you.

Regards,

Mike

Cuentos de negocio del Productor de los videojuegos Yoshiki Okamoto: El estudio Capcom antes de salida de Yoshiki Okamoto

Queridos amigos:

Esta noche Sr. Yoshiki Okamoto y su equipo nos comparten una charla de hace cuatro años.

なぜ退職した？カプコン元幹部の岡本が「カプコン愛」を貫き通すことが出来なかった大きなきっかけ

Se trata de la historia del estudio Capcom cuando todavía Sr. Okamoto trabajaba allí.

Sr. Okamoto comienza diciendo que en aquellos tiempos hace alrededor de 30 años, Sr. Okamoto descubrió que hubo más familiares del Presidente Kenzo Tsujimoto en el estudio que nunca antes.

Sr. Okamoto cuenta que hubo los tres hermanos de la familia de Sr. Tsujimoto y unas personas más en las posiciones altas como, por ejemplo, los gerentes o ejecutivos.

Entonces, Sr. Okamoto le preguntó a Presidente Tsujimoto la razón por esta observación.

Presidente Tsujimoto le respondió que es porque los familiares no le traicionarían.

Sr. Okamoto admite que tal vez significó también que él mismo podría traicionar al Presidente Tsujimoto.

Siguiente, Sr. Okamoto cuenta que hubo una ocación cuando el presidente le preguntó si quiso ser director. Sr. Okamoto desvela que no aceptó la invitación la primera vez, pero después de ver que varios ejecutivos habían recibido las posiciones altas sin las califaciones aptas, decidió ser uno, y según Sr. Okamoto, comenzó a cargarse más responsibilidades desde entonces.

Por último, Sr. Okamoto concluye con un cuento que sucedió antes de su salida del estudio. Él había escuchado una charla entre un ejecutivo de la familia Tsujimoto en la división de hardware y su hermano menor. El ejecutivo estuvo enseñando al novato una trampa para sobrevivir bien en el estudio. Dijo que el novato debería mostrar que una tarea muy fácil fue difícil, y no la debería tomarla muy rápido.

Ya está. Muchísimas gracias como siempre.

¡Hasta pronto!

Saludo,

Mike

各位朋友们，

今晚，岡本吉起老师和他团队给我们分享一个四年前的故事。

なぜ退職した？カプコン元幹部の岡本が「カプコン愛」を貫き通すことが出来なかった大きなきっかけ

是关于岡本老师还在Capcom公司的时候。

老师开始讲述，大约30年以前，岡本老师发现到在Capcom公司里有更多辻本憲三总裁的亲戚了。

岡本老师说有三个兄弟从辻本家，以及一些亲戚正在当高职位，例如董事或经理。

因此，岡本老师提问辻本总裁这个状况的理由。

辻本总裁回答是因为亲戚不不背叛他。

岡本老师承认可能辻本总裁的意思也是老师本身能背叛他。

接下来，岡本老师说，有个时候总裁问老师他要不要当董事。岡本老师透露，他第一次被请要这个职位时，他不接受。但是，他看到蛮多董事得到了高职位，却能力也资格不合适，他决定当董事了。根据岡本老师，之后，他开始承担更多责任。

最后，岡本老师讲一件事情来结束他故事。是一件事他退职之前被发生的。在老师旁边近，他听到一个聊天跟辻本家的硬件部的老板和他弟弟。老板正在教他新入职的弟弟一个办法在公司更长地存续。他说，他弟弟应该表达一个容易的作业似乎是非常困难完成的，而且他应该不赶快接受那种作业。

好了。谢谢你们。

It involves the death of a married couple in their thirties while they were using a sauna in Akasaka. Okamoto-san says that it was a high class sauna where each use would cost 19,000 yen for 120 minutes.

Next, Okamoto-san points out that according to the owner of the said sauna, he's never plugged in the emergency alarm. Furthermore, Okamoto-san wonders the reason why the couple couldn't open the door of the sauna to leave.

Finally, Okamoto-san hopes that this incident would not happen again, and emphasizes that he doesn't want more lives of its users to be lost.

This is all.

Thank you.

Stories from Prof. Joi Ito and Team: News Reports about Web3 and Cryptocurrencies

Writer: Michael B. Syson

Dear friends,

Today let me share with you several salient points in Prof. Joi Ito and team's general meeting this morning.

Last accessed: 20251219

【最新web3情報LIVE】web3とブロックチェーンがまちづくりや社会にもたらす可能性とは？｜weekly gm｜2025年12月19日

As usual, Comugi-san shared news reports related to Web3 and Cryptocurrencies.

https://dalab-dg.notion.site/2025-12-19-Weekly-Roundup-gm-2cd99677e8338082a007ce618de2947a; last accessed: 20251219

2025-12-19｜Weekly Roundup｜ウィークリーgm

First is the news that the value of gold has gone up, while Bitcoin's has drastically gone down. The stark contrast between the two is attributed to the decrease in the value of the USD.

Next, there's also a news report from CoinDesk, where it's said that Bhutan is contributing 10,000 units of Bitcoin (amounting to 860 million USD) in order to develop the Gelephu Mindfulness City in Southern Bhutan. The contribution is based on the country's successful implementation of a Bitcoin mining project that has been using hydroelectric power for many years. The purpose of using Bitcoin is said to be for the sake of prioritizing capital security, transparency and long-term management of the project. Comugi-san notes that Prof. Joi and team are actively engaged in the development of Bhutan.

Next, Comugi-san reports that DroneNet, a company that provides Drone Pilot education and cryptocurrency mining equipment, is going through bankruptcy proceedings with liabilities amounting to as much as 144.5 billion yen. Nihon Keizai News explains that the structure of the business is akin to selling investment products, making it easy for buyers to become creditors. However, because of the size and scale of the transactions, with an annual income amounting to about 97.7 billion yen in February 2025, mismanagement in the capital on the side of the company resulted to large amounts of unpaid transactions. This further led to difficulty in the payment of taxes in November 2025, going so far as to hide about 3 billion yen of income, while the problem continued with the passing away of a key manager in December 2025.

Next, Comugi-san shares exclusive news from CoinDesk saying that Crypto ETFs are getting permitted to operate in Japan come 2028 in line with tax reforms and regulations upon their implementation.

Finally, Comugi-san shares a paid article he wrote for WIRED. In this piece, he explains why Sony is currently focusing on Web3 and Stablecoins through a diagram that shows that existing platforms do not allow payments via micropayments, e-wallets, banking apps and stablecoins. However, by introducing these payment methods, the new scheme would pave the way for customers to get hold of IP and content relevant to their preferences. This new Sony ecosystem is thereby envisioned to bring profitability to the company and allow for direct interaction with its customers.

With regard to this morning's presentation, Prof. Junichi Suzuki from dentsu Innovation Initiative shared the many projects their R&D unit has been working on since the last few years. He says that in 2022 they started the Social City project, and since then he's been presenting and publishing research papers about this topic. Right now, they're specifically focusing on Martech, Web3, Spatial Media and Social Platforms.

This is all.

Thank you.

Regards,

Mike
