Banjo Yamauchi
G5, Director of Yamauchi Foundation and Yamauchi Corporation and Founder & CEO Yamauchi-No.10 Family Office
Banjo is the fifth generation of the Yamauchi family, the founding family of Nintendo. His grandfather, Hiroshi Yamauchi was the third CEO of the company and responsible for the second founding of their business. Banjo inherited Hiroshi’s fortune as an adopted son along with Banjo’s father and two aunts, when he was just 20 years old. Since Hiroshi decided to end the family management of Nintendo, the Yamauchi family is no longer involved in the management of the company. Given this background of his family, Banjo recognizes his life mission is to establish a new social position of the Yamauchi’s, utilizing the tangible and intangible assets gained from the trajectory of the founding family of Nintendo.

Why I have established Yamauchi family office as a founding family member of Nintendo
Plenary
With a help of viable family office, influential family business owning family can outlast its business. In an age of uncertainty, which is increasing every year for the complex reasons of globalization, digitalization, and geopolitical risk, it is inevitable for any family business owning family to liquidate its long-established business. When those families find themselves in such cash event, they will find it difficult to maintain family cohesiveness as organic business suddenly turns into unorganic cash. The family will be forced to maintain its family solidarity and engage in a positive impact on society without its long-established family business. This is where family office comes into play to assist those families to redefine their role in society, in which they have lived for generations. A young entrepreneur, Banjo Yamauchi, the fifth generation of founding family of Nintendo, now talks about his new challenges as a leader of its family office.
