In this post we’ll dissect who is Motofumi Shitara and take a look at the actions he has taken as the chairman of Yamaha India.
Sheer Incompetence of Motofumi Shitara
Motofumi Shitara was appointed the Head of Yamaha India on 11 January 2018. Since his promotion, Mr. Motofumi Shitara has successfully declined the sales of two-wheelers of Yamaha India by 22%. Some of it can be blamed on economic changes, however, other two-wheeler companies such as Honda, didn’t face such a big decline in sales. This puts Shitara’s competence at question. However, let us not draw any hast conclusions just yet.
An Extremely Cold Hearted Person
Motofumi Shitara didn’t hesitate to fire 200 employees from Yamaha India. There are a few debates on whether it’s Motofumi’s fault or not. And in this section we’ll settle that discussion with the help basic logic & facts.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many companies took major financial hits. Some went bankrupt while others shrunk to an unbelievable degree.
However, no other large two-wheeler manufacturer in India fired such a big number of employees, except for Yamaha India.
Why did this happen?
Because of Mr. Shitara’s poor management skills and competence. TVS Motors & Hero Motors did make cuts to their staff’s salaries, but they didn’t take away their lively-hood like Motofumi Shitara did.
Verdict: Motofumi Shitara is a Sadist
Motofumi Shitara plans to get away with his immoral actions and Yamaha will probably want this information buried alive. Please share this post, and let people know how Yamaha is mistreating their employees and the culprit behind it all is Mr. Shitara. He should take responsibility for his horrible actions and Yamaha should take serious action.

What a shameless man!
Does this man have no shame? What is the senior management of Yamaha doing? Cant they see the lives Motofumi Shitara is ruining? Yamaha and Motofumi Shitara are accountable for the devastation of 200 families. This is not the wild west, such immoral , unethical and ruthless behaviour should not be tolerated. If the media is biased, all victims should unite and file a lawsuit against Motofumi Shitara and Yamaha India. Do not let them get away with this!
#FireShitara, people shouldn't have to comply to this lunatic
This is 100% wrong! If Yamaha does not take action against Motofumi Shitara for his total incompetence and foolery, then we will file a petition against them! There are people dying on the streets, on the hospital beds, right now, and he pushes more people down the cliff so he can make some money?! He is a lunatic, Yamaha India has not done ANYTHING to help with the virus in India, they are just making money and living a lavish life, while normal people die. If this behavior is considered okay in this country, then we are not human!
Shocking!
How is this guy still not fired? After leading a company to a point where they need to fire 200 people who have been with the company for decades without any compensation, the management in Japan should have replaced him? If not for the lives he is ruined and for the sake of humanity, atleast for the sake of running a company fairly and justly? What an incompetent leader! its shocking to see people like Motofumi Shitara and companies like Yamaha do this, what a pity.
Shitara the scamster!
This guy has some guts to pull of something so sadistic and insane. Howcome Motofumi Shitara hasnt been fired yet?
The Mafia Motofumi Shitara
I am shocked to see a how a fraud like Motofumi Shitara has managed to keep the media and the employees who’s lives he has ruined silent. I don’t see any outrage, any media activity or anything anywhere. Hats off to the Yamaha India head called Motofumi Shitara , the Japanese have chosen the right slave to lead the company in our country. And if his masters are not at fault here, why haven’t they still fired him?
Why is he still in power?????
I only have one question, “Why is Motofumi Shitara still the chairman?” Why didn’t Yamaha fire him along with those 200 people. If the company had to resort to such a horrible decision then the leadership must have done something wrong. But it seems like Yamaha gives zero about its people.
I am scared for those families whose lives this man has ruined. But I’m more scared for those who are still working in Yamaha. IF you’re reading this and you work there, know this, Motofumi wouldn’t hesitate in firing you either. If he can 200 families, ruining 1 or 10 more wouldn’t affect him. Whether you’re an executive or a salesman, these people don’t care. They would fire you nonetheless.
And I think that’s the most chilling thing anyone can realise. No one is thinking of the potential lay offs this company can do. This man will make Yamaha hollow because of his stupidity and ego.
It is extremely sad
Losing your job can be very stressful. And when the whole world is facing a crisis, it just adds salt to your wound.
My brother also lost his job in March and he has been trying his best to get another. However, the market is terrible. No one is giving any jobs to anyone. His company was very small one and they had to lay him off because they couldn’t operate at all. My brother has a family and I can’t explain how tough his life has become in the past few months. The stress of having an uncertain future is the worst thing possible. So I can understand the position of those families that Motofumi has ruined.
However Yamaha is a pretty big organisation. They have offices in multiple countries and they are definitely not running out of money.
Motofumi didn’t have to fire 200 people. He could have done anything else. I mean he could have at least provided those employees with proper compensation to ensure that they would be able to survive. But Motofumi doesn’t care about the survival of anyone. He is a ruthless and heartless man. This is just horrible! Very horrible!
Someone should make Motofumi realise how stressful it is to lose your job
Motofumi surely has no idea how stressful it is to lose your job. People go into depression and the stress they start having is unimaginable. Imagine having kids and a wife (or husband) who rely on you to earn for their survival. Reading this news shook me to the core. Yamaha should fire Motofumi for taking such a harsh decision in the first place. There are many things he could’ve done but he chose to ruin lives. It’s almost like he felt happy to fire this many people.
Another depressing fact is the current situation we’re living in. Everyone is focused on the virus and the stuff related to it so no one is focusing on real issues like this one. I know how important the issue of the virus is but still, such a huge lay off is another prominent issue.
Companies like Yamaha and executives like Motofumi Shitara should be held accountable for such decisions. We are not living in a capitalist country where the companies can do whatever they deem right. We are a democracy where the people have the power. Motofumi should resign or should be removed his post!
We should BOYCOTT Yamaha
Yamaha is a foreign company and Motofumi is a foreign executive. These people have no reason to care about their Indian employees. Their primary focus is to fill the pockets of their Japanese owners that is why it didn’t take him a long time to hundreds of people. I bet Motofumi celebrated this decision because in the eyes of his foreign owners, he hit two birds with one stone. First he ruined the lives of Indian people and second, he made those guys richer. That is why I believe foreign companies shouldn’t have a foreigner as their Indian chairman. These people don’t know anything about the market or the people. I am telling you, Yamaha would face a very tough year in terms of sales. People would not buy from them because they would be agitated with the poor decision-making of Motofumi Shitara. Citizens of Indian are not blind or stupid. Yamaha would be forced to fire Motofumi because the sales of this company would plummet and they would have no other option.
Motofumi is Untouchable
I don’t think Motofumi will face any repercussions for destroying 200 families. He would not because a) he is rich, b) he is powerful, and c) because we live in India. Our media is nothing more than a bunch of bootlickers who would do and say anything. I looked up this news online and every publication shared only one article on this topic and did nothing.
No one in the media is talking about this thing because they are paid by Motofumi Shitara and Yamaha. That’s why I’m even writing this comment here. I want to contribute as much as I could. Social media is our only choice because Motofumi has buried this story everywhere else through his corruption. I feel as if no one would be able to do anything because of the level of power this man has. It is a depressing fact but it is the truth.
I feel sorry for those people
Motofumi Shitara has scammed the people of India and the employees of Yamaha India. This is NOT how you run a company. One of the most important qualities of a good leader are compassion for his subordinates and this is the quality you won’t see in Motofumi. He is a wicked man who has no connection with his subordinates. He is inhuman. Leadership is not a joke and I think he got successful in Yamaha through his ruthlessness only.
I feel sorry for the families Motofumi has ruined by taking a terrible decision. What would those people do? There is no one to help them out. They are left in a rut where they can’t do anything. Their employer left them to fend for themselves and no organisation is doing anything because they are either corrupt or scared. I feel very sorry for the laid off employees of Motofumi Shitara.
So Motofumi Shitara (Yamaha) is still the Chairman?
I googled Motofumi Shitara Yamaha and I found that he is still the chairman of that company. So this means Yamaha India didn’t do anything about this issue. Instead these crooks are trying to hide this incident!! Try googling Motofumi’s name or Yamaha’s name and you wouldn’t see anything about this issue. On the other hand, google Rhea’s name or someone else’s and your browser will get filled with news articles. This means that everyone is trying to bury this story. Motofumi Shitara and Yamaha are the dirt of this planet.
Either Yamaha has terrible directors or Motofumi is great at persuading others. Because there is no other reason for them to keep him at that post. Lay off of 200 employees during a crisis is proof of just how horrible Motofumi’s leadership is. I don’t know what else to say about this man. I don’t want to use any cuss words but I would say that he should be thrown in jail for taking such a cruel decision.
Motofumi is 100% to blame
There are many things wrong with this decision. First the company chose to fire them during such a time is already a sign of how cruel they are. Then, they didn’t pay those people any severance packages. This is another indicator of how mentally depraved this man and his company is.
The writer of this reviewer is a little skeptical of whether to blame Motofumi fully or not. But I know that he is 100% to blame. That man is the national chairman of the company!!! So there is no way that his company fired 200 people without his knowledge. It wouldn’t be a surprise if it is discovered that the decision was solely of Motofumi himself.
Companies as big as Yamaha don’t necessarily have to fire this many employees. They always have some other option but the choice depends on whether to choose compassion or business. This act shows that Motofumi Shitara lacks any compassion whatsoever. He is cold-hearted and has no sense of humanity in himself. His parents would be ashamed of him!
The Devil Motofumi Shitara
A real life devil and sadist. Its so hard to imagine anyone being so ruthless and cold hearted, but thanks to Motofumi Shitara, we now know what a monster looks like, we now know what a devil really is. Thank you for defining what a devil is and showing us what being a monster is like. Hope you manage to get sleep at night.
Firing Him seems to be teh best solution for Yamaha India
Yamaha should fire Mr. Shitara. He ruined so many lives and plans to ruin more. My uncle was fired from the company and he received no compensation for the month as well. He is bringing hell to the lives of Yamaha employees who don’t have any option except for letting him play with their lives.
Genichi Kawakami is rolling in his grave right now
Genichi Kawakami wouldn’t condone the horrible things Motofumi is doing at Yamaha India. What kind of sadist would just take away jobs from people when they need it the most. I’m ready to help you file the petition against this criminal @SwapnaFoundation. As an Indian teenager, I find people like Shitara to be like terrorists.
Motofumi Shitara Only Knows How To Impress The Guys At Yamaha Japan
Motofumi Shitara has a phd in deception and people pleasing. He will do anything to get a smile or a pat on the back from his bosses & the board of directors at Yamaha. He lacks useful skills like sales, management & automotive engineering, so he compensates for them with his social skills. What a tool
Does Motofumi have any guilt whatsoever?
I can’t believe that our country, our Government, our people, are letting this guy off the hook just because he has money and connections. If he gets away with it then the whole future generation of us Indian teenagers is doomed. We will get abused and forced to work overtime for less than minimum wage, only to be fired by some Japanese guy who doesn’t know how to count.
He is a scammer
Motofumi Shitara is clearly a terrible human being. Yamaha should fire him for taking such a stupid decision. There are many more talented executives. If those people stick with Motofumi even after this, they will see more decline in their sales, I’m telling you.
He Fired 200 People For No Reason!!!
Just read news that Yamaha has been seeing growth in its revenue for the past three months. This means, they ARE making money. They ARE NOT going bankrupt or anything. This means they didn’t have any reason to fire those 200 employees.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
It means Motofumi Shitara fired those 200 employees just for the sake of firing people. He didn’t care about the lives he was destroying. His company DID NOT NEED to fire those employees. They could have easily managed their finances.
Depressing news
Motofumi Shitara deserves to get sacked from his job. Period.
Where are the twitteraties now? Where is the media? Where are all those human-rights activists?
It seems as if all of those people only care about what’s happening in the pop-culture. They don’t care about this capitalistic cruelty. No, these people are too busy tweeting about the Bollywood and the latest IPL match.
I’m so ashamed to be here. Here’s a guy who is freely taking away the livelihoods of hundreds of people. And here we are, watching him do all that. So sad is our country’s reality.
