Primary Evidence
"At that time, the head of Human Resources at Jusco was the sister of Takuya Okuda, the founder and honorary chairman of AEON Group. I remember my strong impression when I first joined the company was that the dormitory was well-equipped, and the care for people was very thoughtful. After joining the company, I was sent to the main store in Yokkaichi for training."
