We have asked you here today so that I may make a special announcement.

In June 2003, I will step down as president and CEO and will assume the Vice Chairmans position at DENSO Corporation. I felt it was time to introduce someone with new vigor and ideas to ensure DENSOs corporate growth and vitality.

|

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the next and ninth DENSO Corporation President and CEO: Koichi Fukaya

|

|

Mr. Fukaya is the type of leader who sees many sides to every issue and makes decisions quickly.

His knowledge of production engineering, especially quality processes, anchors our reputation for manufacturing strength.
