Naoko Yamazaki has extensive knowledge of advanced aerospace engineering and manned spacecraft systems, including robotic arms, as an engineer. She is well versed in science and technology, as well as risk management including crisis management, and has experienced extremely challenging environments as an astronaut.

The Company has no business transactions with Space Port Japan Association, at which Naoko Yamazaki serves as Representative Director, or with Young Astronauts Club - Japan, at which she serves as President. Therefore, there is no risk of her independence being affected by this position.

In addition, the Company has appointed Outside Director Naoko Yamazaki as an Independent Director as defined by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and has duly notified the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
