Riso Kyoiku Group completes holding company transition, rebrands

Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation, formerly Riso Kyoiku, announced the completion of its transition to a holding company structure as of September 1, 2025, following shareholder approval on May 23, 2025. This change involved its wholly owned subsidiary, TOMAS Co., Ltd., assuming the tutoring, English school, and student recruitment businesses previously operated by the parent company. The move aims to optimize management amidst rapid industry changes, including digitalization and demographic shifts.

Under the new structure, Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation will function as the parent entity, overseeing strategic decisions for the entire group. It established new departments, including Advertising & Marketing and Real Estate Management, to centralize operations and improve cost efficiency. The company also created a dedicated DX Promotion Department and a Group Administration Headquarters to manage human resources, accounting, finance, general affairs, and legal affairs across the group, aiming to maximize synergies.

The holding company's paid-in capital is 4,590,415 thousand yen, with its fiscal year-end in February. TOMAS Co., Ltd., a core operating subsidiary, has a paid-in capital of 10,000 thousand yen and will continue to operate private tutoring, English schools, and student recruitment businesses. The new structure also details the executive leadership for both Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation and TOMAS Co., Ltd., with Masahiko Tenbo as president and representative director of the holding company and Hitoshi Machida as president and representative director of TOMAS Co., Ltd.
