The Sanno Institute of Management surveyed this year’s new graduates about their “Ideal Boss,” and results revealed that the majority of new male employees would like to have major leaguer Ichiro as their superior, while women would prefer actress Yuki Amami. This is the second year Ichiro has topped the charts, while Amami jumped up from third last year.
Number two on the men’s ranking was comedian Shinsuke Shimada. Yomiuri Giants manager Tatsunori Hara took third, and comedian George Tokoro was pushed down one spot to fourth. Up one rank in fifth place was actor Hiroshi Abe.
In second place on the women’s ranking was last year’s chart topper actress Miki Maya. Actress Makiko Esumi took third, singer Akiko Wada came in fourth, up from the ninth spot last year. Actress Hiromi Kuroki jumped up from 13th last year to take fifth place in this year’s survey.
Many men explained that they chose Ichiro as their most ideal boss because, “His manner and attitude would make for a good role model.”
Amami was voted most ideal by women because, “She seems as if she would give good advice.”
