Dismissal of the officers, etc. at incorporation is determined by a majority of the votes of the incorporators (or by a majority of two thirds or more in case of dismissal of a director at incorporation who is an audit and supervisory committee member at incorporation or a company auditor at incorporation).
In the cases provided for in the preceding paragraph, an incorporator is entitled to one vote for each one share issued at incorporation for which the performance of contributions has been fulfilled; provided, however, that, if the share unit is provided for in the articles of incorporation, an incorporator is entitled to one vote for each one unit of the shares issued at incorporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if the stock company to be incorporated is a company with class shares , and it issues shares issued at incorporation of a class for which it is provided that the voting rights may not be exercised in connection with the dismissal of some or all of the directors, with respect to relevant class of the shares issued at incorporation, the incorporators may not exercise voting rights in connection with the dismissal of the directors at incorporation who are to become relevant directors.
For the purpose of the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph if the stock company to be incorporated is a company with audit and supervisory committee, the phrase", director" in the same paragraph is deemed to be replaced with ", director who is an audit and supervisory committee member or other director", and the term "relevant director" is deemed to be replaced with "these directors".

articles of incorporation
定款
A company's own basic rules, written by its founders when it is formed: at least its purpose, its trade name, where its head office is, the value of the property contributed at incorporation and who the founders are (Companies Act, Article 27). A stock company's must be certified by a notary before it takes effect (Article 30, paragraph (1)), and can later be changed by a resolution of the shareholders meeting (Article 466). Many rules in the Act apply "unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise", so a company's articles decide a great deal of how the Act applies to it.

director
取締役
An officer of a stock company, elected by the shareholders meeting (Companies Act, Article 329, paragraph (1)). Every stock company has at least one (Article 326, paragraph (1)). Where there is no board of directors, the directors run the company's business unless the articles of incorporation say otherwise (Article 348, paragraph (1)), and each of them represents it unless the company has chosen representative directors (代表取締役) or others to do that (Article 349, paragraphs (1) and (3)). Where there is a board (取締役会, board of directors), the directors are its members, and the board decides the business and normally chooses the representative directors from among them (Article 362). The term normally runs to the annual shareholders meeting for the last business year ending within two years of election (Article 332, paragraph (1)).
