Toshiya Imura, 38, a comedian-turned-investor, poses for a photograph during an interview with Reuters in Tokyo, on Dec 26, 2022.TOKYO – Japan's newest star investor has no car or hobbies and rarely eats out. But Toshiya Imura has turned an obsession for stock research into US$42 million in returns, giving the former comedian an enthusiastic fan base and a chance to launch his own fund.
Mitsui Matsushima Holdings, another coal producer whose filing showed Imura as a major shareholder in 2021, has also seen its shares surge in the past year."He's just incredibly good with his due diligence and analytical skills," said 51-year-old Yasumasa Yamada, who raised his holding in Sumiseki after learning of Imura's position.
Imura said he pores over company filings, looking for evidence of changes to the business environment or other factors the market may not yet have priced in. Imura said he likes coal producers because he believes they have been undervalued by the focus on clean energy. Regional banks will remain attractive due to expectations of higher interest rates in Japan, he said.
He now plans to start his own fund this year, with some initial funding from his own wealth, and will team up with a former institutional investor he admires. He declined to name his future partner.
