Masuko, a veteran of the Mitsubishi conglomerate, had just weeks ago resigned as chairman citing health reasons. He became the car maker's president in 2005, and oversaw the creation of the partnership between Mitsubishi and Nissan Motor Co."He built solid relationships with the management of partners, the alliance companies and the Mitsubishi Group through good communications by leveraging his personality and extensive connections," the company said.
Masuko was at the helm of Mitsubishi during a 2016 scandal in which the automaker was found to have overstated the mileage on its vehicles. An investigation uncovered slack governance and pressure on resource-starved engineers as chronic issues at the company. Masuko later denounced his ties with Ghosn following the latter's 2018 arrest in Japan over suspected financial misconduct.
