Despite his impressive appearance, he was the kind of person who, through his jokes, created an atmosphere in which we felt comfortable asking questions. While he vividly talks about his vision for the future of banks, he also worries about modern Japanese society, where chains of poverty and inequality are rampant. That image still leaves an impression on me. (Koki Nishizono, Economic Affairs Department)
