Marvelous has announced that Takashi Sensui, the former general manager of Microsoft’s Xbox Division in Japan, is the official candidate for the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Marvelous.

The decision to appoint Sensui as the EVP and COO has been put into motion, however, the company’s general meeting of stockholders must officially approve his new role during their June 21st stockholders meeting.

Sensui retired from his position at Microsoft in July of last year, amidst floundering sales of the company’s Xbox One console in Japan.
