With regard to the person who is to represent the company in an action that a stock company existing at the time this Act comes into effect brings against a director or liquidator, or that a director or liquidator brings against that company, the provisions then in force continue to govern even after this Act comes into effect, until the close of the ordinary general meeting relating to the first account closing day that arrives after this Act comes into effect.

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)).
