The Rera Kamuy Hokkaido have the JBL's worst record (4-12) entering December, and as the league resumes after a monthlong break this weekend following the completion of the Asian Games, the cash-strapped Sapporo club has made a major change at the top.
At a recent meeting of the team's shareholders, Kazuko Mizusawa was replaced as the team's chief executive officer, a position she's held since the franchise's establishment in April 2006, by Yosuke Kondo.
Kondo, 37, owns and operates D-Nuggets, a basketball club, and the D-Nuggets Basketball Academy, whose company headquarters are located in Minami-Aoyama in Tokyo's Minato Ward. He had served previously as the team's general manager/president and representative director.
