The first president, Jitsuo Yamazaki established our newspaper, "Kichinan Shinbun" in 1952 in Ogori town ( present Ogori, Yamaguchi city). In 1955, he moved from Ogori to Hofu. At that time it was called "Shin Hofu" ("New Hofu"). In 1979, Mr. Yamazaki set up his corporation, and changed the title to "Hofu Nippo".
