TOKYO -- A veteran executive of Japan's most popular online chat service is out to make his mark in Asia with a fashion-focused video startup, and he is doing it with a helping of Chinese cash.
Akira Morikawa served as president of Line from 2007 to 2015. The chat app operator has been pushing into other Asian markets, and Morikawa has been leading his new venture -- fashion video site C Channel -- out into the broader region as well.
