After graduating from Tokai University’s Department of Marine Science and Aquaculture, he joined Keio Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd. (now Korg Inc.) in 1980. <br /> <br />Early in his career, he worked in domestic sales, handling Korg products. By 1985, he became Head of Product Planning, playing a pivotal role in the development of innovative instruments such as the M1, a groundbreaking music workstation. <br /> <br />In 1988, he moved to KORG USA Inc., and in October 1989, he was appointed President of KORG USA, where he played a key role in expanding Korg’s presence in the U.S. market. In 1995, he became Executive Vice President of Korg Inc., and in October 2003, he assumed the position of President and CEO. <br /> <br />Throughout his career, Seiki Kato made significant contributions to the music industry. <br /> <br />For decades, he was a driving force behind Korg’s success, earning the deep respect and trust of colleagues and industry partners alike. The instruments he helped bring to life have empowered musicians around the world, shaping the future of music and artistic expression. <br /> <br />We remain committed to carrying forward his passion and spirit of innovation, striving to create products that inspire. We sincerely appreciate your continued support. <br /> <br />February 28, 2025 <br />Korg Inc. </div> </div> </div> </section>  </section>  <div id="news_result_info"> <div class="info_block"> <h3>Share</h3> <div class="sns_inner"> <span class='st_sharethis_hcount' displayText='ShareThis'></span> <span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span> <span class='st_pinterest_hcount' displayText='Pinterest'></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="news_result_footer"> <h4 class="pbLv1">More News</h4> <dl> <dt>2025.02.28</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2025/0228/" target="_self">Passing of Our President and Representative Director, Seiki Kato</a></dd><dt>2025.01.23</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2025/0123/" target="_self">KORG and Native Instruments Join Forces for Seamless Integration</a></dd><dt>2025.01.21</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2025/0121/" target="_self">KORG at The NAMM Show 2025: A Celebration of Innovation</a></dd><dt>2024.11.21</dt><dd><a href="https://www.korg.com/products/computergear/nanokey_fold/" target="_self">PLUG IT, PLAY IT, TOUCH IT, FOLD IT. nanoKEY Fold: Your Ultimate Portable Music Companion!</a></dd><dt>2024.11.19</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2024/1119/" target="_self">KORG and JICO Announce Collaboration: A New Era in Sound and Analog Excellence</a></dd><dt>2024.05.14</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2024/0514/" target="_self">KORG at Superbooth 2024</a></dd><dt>2024.04.04</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2024/040402/" target="_self">Important notice regarding KORG USER NET website malfunction (Added on 4/5/2024)</a></dd><dt>2023.07.13</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2023/071302/" target="_self">Bluetooth connection problem of our products in Windows 11 version 22H2</a></dd><dt>2023.06.21</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2023/0621/" target="_self">Notice of Discontinuation of iAudioGate and iDS-10</a></dd><dt>2022.05.10</dt><dd><a href="http://www.korg.com/products/dj/nts_2_pt/" target="_self">NTS-2 oscilloscope kit + PATCH & TWEAK with KORG: A powerful package to help your synth exploration! </a></dd><dt>2022.04.14</dt><dd><a href="http://www.korg.com/products/dj/volca_fm2/" target="_self">volca fm: The ultimate FM experience in volca format</a></dd><dt>2022.02.05</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2022/0205/" target="_self">Reported issues between KORG nanoKONTROL series, taktile series and the latest version (10.4.5) of GarageBand. </a></dd><dt>2021.12.13</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2021/1213/" target="_self">About integration of KRONOS Sound Libraries Shop and My Kronos into KORG Shop</a></dd><dt>2021.11.19</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2021/1119/" target="_self">Issue with KORG AudioGate4 for Mac (Added on January 12, 2022)</a></dd><dt>2020.11.05</dt><dd><a href="/us/news/2020/1105/" target="_self">KORG Collection 2 is now available via Splice’s Rent-To-Own!
