An agent for several mobile phone service companies, Hikari Tsushin acts as the middleman between telecommunications carriers and business and consumer end users. The company, which also sells mobile phones and other telecom products, has had to close more than 1,000 of its Hit Shops due to heavy losses. It now operates about 170 stores. The company's problems have not ended there. It has cut 1,400 workers and suffered the loss of top executives and investors due to delays in forming a restructuring plan. Despite its financial troubles, the company will continue to invest in IT start-ups through its subsidiary Hikari Tsushin Capital. CEO Yasumitsu Shigeta founded Hikari Tsushin in 1988.
