TOKYO, Japan - Yoshiro Yamamoto (L), president of Fuji Bank, Katsuyuki Sugita (C), president of Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank (DKB), and Masao Nishimura (R), president of the Industrial Bank of Japan, shake hands at the DKB headquarters in Tokyo on Dec. 22 after announcing their decision to name the joint holding company they plan to create next year Mizuho Holdings Inc.
