In that role, he oversaw all product development at Yahoo Japan. Prior to Yahoo Japan, he worked for the web portal Excite Japan as chief technology officer.

    "We are very pleased to have Toshikazu Inoue joining us as President of Baidu Japan," said Robin Li, Baidu's chairman and chief executive officer. "Mr. Inoue is recognized across Asia as a pioneer in the Japanese Internet search market. He joins Baidu with substantial international experience, an effective management style and a deep understanding of technology, products and end users in the Japanese Internet search market. Under Mr. Inoue's leadership, we expect Baidu Japan will attract new talent, advance product and service development, and steadily improve local user experience."
