ACROSS THE PACIFIC - Key Persons


Carol Y. Asai-Sato

Job Titles:
  • Attorney - at - Law / Officer and Director
Let me introduce you Mr. Kenji Masuda, President of Across the Pacific, LLC. While he worked as Deputy General Manager of Treasury Dept. of The Resolution and Collection Corporation, we jointly worked to sell Partnership Interest located in the eastern part of the United States under control of the Treasury Dept., to a securities company, et al. in New York. As Mr. Masuda had experience in real estate business in Hawaii, we could smoothly proceed with the deal including documentation. I have heard a profit was realized from the sale. In addition, I have a memory he himself negotiated with the other party's lawyer about jurisdiction. Mr. Masuda has recently established on his own a new company "Across the Pacific, LLC." in Hawaii, USA. I, hoping the company will develop to be a bridge connecting Japan with the United States, believe he will make the best use of experience in real estate business in the United States and legal knowledge including the laws of Japan.

Job Titles:
  • Attorney - at - Law
I got acquainted with Mr. Kenji Masuda when he worked for Housing Loan Administration Corporation (currently The Resolution and Collection Corporation) as Deputy General Manager of Treasury Department. At that time and up to now, my office was and has been in charge of the Corporation's tax affairs. The Treasury Dept. composed of talented members from banks, securities companies, insurance companies, etc. in the financial circles took charge of accounting and fund management. Mr. Masuda operated the Department jointly with the Treasury General Manager. Accounts of the Corporation, a general business company different from banks, were closed immediately after his assumption of the office and the Corporation started to make preparations for merging the Resolution and Collection Bank only 7 months after that time. It was praiseworthy he could overcome the days of upheaval in cooperation with the Treasury General Manager and other staff members. Recently Mr. Masuda has established on his own a company "Across the Pacific, LLC." in Hawaii, USA. I expect he will fully use his broad knowledge of accounting, experience in real property business in the United States and excellent language ability to develop activities which may contribute to both Japan and the United States.
