Due to 'inappropriate behavior related to women'... resignation of the chairman of Fujitsu, a Japanese company The resignation comes after the company learned of the matter this month, according to a company spokesperson Japanese computing systems company Fujitsu (AFP). Japanese computing systems company Fujitsu said its chairman Hidenori Furuta stepped down due to 'inappropriate behavior related to women.' The resignation comes after the company learned of the matter this month, according to a company spokesperson who declined to reveal details of the case, but indicated that this change in position did not result from any violation of the law. There are no plans yet to appoint a successor, according to the spokesperson. Furuta became chairman of Fujitsu in 2024 after holding the positions of deputy president and chief technology officer at the company. Fujitsu, headquartered in Tokyo, is among the world's largest IT services companies. The company was at the heart of an IT scandal within British Post Office branches, after problems with its accounting software caused sums to disappear from accounts by mistake. The British Post Office wrongfully prosecuted about 1,000 branch managers between 1999 and 2015.
