Regarding other domestic operations, each operating company aspires to become the leading brand in its business category. These include Kyotaru, an operator of sushi restaurants, Hanamaru, an operator of selfservice Sanuki udon noodle restaurants, and Peterpan Comoco, a fast-food restaurant chain. Having established a firm foundation for their businesses, these companies are pursuing a growth strategy that involves accelerating the pace of new-store openings. At the same time, we will seek M&A opportunities in order to expand the scope of our business.
