The company said in a statement that Inoue replaces Kohei Hagio and he will report directly to Puma CEO Arne Freundt.
“I’m glad that Ryokusai is returning to Puma to lead this important market. I am very confident that with his vast experience in retail and his understanding of Puma’s culture, products and sales, Ryokusai is the right candidate to take Puma Japan to the next level,” said Freundt in a statement.
