Biography
Early Life
Kumiko Sato was born on October 22, 1964 to two banking executives working for the Mizuho Financial Group, in Kamikawa, Saitama Prefecture in the East Asian Federation. The second child born to her parents, she has an older brother, born 1959, and a younger brother, born 1965. Because of the relative wealth of her parents, she lived an exclusive life, with little chances to interact with other people, outside of school. She graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University in 1986, receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree. In 1985, while at Tokyo University, she met Tatsuya Akimoto. The two would later marry in 1990. After gradution, she attended Hitotsubashi University, and received a Masters Degree in Business Administration in 1988.
Hyasoda Career
Akimoto joined the Hyasoda Group immediately after graduation in 1986, as a mid-level executive for the group's struggling consumer electronics unit at the corporation's secondary headquarters in Hiroshima. A series of successes for the unit, including the introduction of the popular Discover series of televisions, permitted her relatively fast rise along the internal corporate ladder, eventually being elevated to CEO of the Hyasoda Group in February 2002.
In the July 2002 general elections, the Hyasoda Group successfully obtained a plurality of seats on the Federation Board, consequently making Akimoto Chief Executive of the Federation, the second ever female to hold that position.
Policies
The hugely successful Asian Free Trade Agreement was signed under Executive Akimoto's Administration leading to her corporation's wide popularity among the populace. The Federation's economy has nearly doubled due to this and other shrewd practices.
