Metal Gear Solid publisher gets a new president in the Americas

The American video game division of Konami has a new big boss.

The Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania company revealed today that Tomohiro Uesugi will take over as president of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., which is the American subsidiary of Konami. Uesugi previously served as executive vice president of the publisher in 2013. He replaces Tomoyuki Tsuboi, who took the role in February 2012. In its most recent financial report, Konami’s video game business missed its fiscal guidance by several million dollars. For its full fiscal year, which ends March 31, the company has had to severely cut down its expectations for its operating income from $267 million to just $98.7 million.
