NEW BRAND STATEMENT

The new of today, the norm of tomorrow

DOCOMO has embarked on a new challenge:

connecting the separate elements of daily life

to achieve levels of convenience and enjoyment never seen before.

We call it “smart innovation.”

Security and peace of mind, health, education,

and all the other pleasures that go to make up life –

we are proposing optimum connections for each individual,

taking the provision of information and enjoyment of life a giant step forward.

To make this a reality, we are supporting innovation across a wide range of businesses.

And beyond this, we are also actively developing novel solutions

to the challenges facing society.

This culture of challenge and innovation is deeply rooted at DOCOMO.

For us, however, it’s not simply about creating products and

services that are new; it’s about creating things that, before you know it,

become essential or even taken for granted in daily life.

We firmly believe the lifestyles that “smart innovation”

makes possible will become the standard, so deeply ingrained they are hardly noticed.

We envisage a time when the new becomes everybody’s taken-for-granted standard,

and we are working towards that day with everything at our command.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders:

I am delighted to present this convocation notice for the general shareholders meeting for the 25th fiscal year (from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016).

First of all, I would like to extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to all those affected by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes. Although there had been a temporary disruption of our mobile communications services in the areas around Kumamoto, we have completely restored services in all areas by April 27, 2016. We pray for the health of the people in the disaster-stricken areas and the earliest possible recovery of the region.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (FY2015), we achieved a steadfast recovery in various operational indicators and operating income by addressing the three pillars of expansion of telecommunications services revenues, growth of smart life business and other businesses and cost efficiency improvement, which allowed us to make a huge progress toward the attainment of our medium-term targets.

Positioning the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 (FY2016) as the year of a “vibrant leap for growth beyond recovery,” we will manage our business toward the goal of delivering our medium-term targets one year ahead of the original plan by reinforcing the comprehensive strengths of the Company, while concurrently promoting the “+d” value co-creation initiatives jointly with external partners. Through these efforts, we intend to provide new values to customers as we contribute to bring more affluence to society by providing solutions to pressing social issues

As always, I ask for your continued goodwill and support.

(2) Developments and Results of Operations

<<Summary of the principal initiative>>

Japan’s telecommunications sector has seen a dramatic change in its market structure due to launch of services by a wide range of players following the start of “Hikari Collaboration Model,” which is a new wholesale business model for fiber access, the rapid proliferation of smartphones and tablet devices, developments related to the government’s pro-competition policy (such as new market entry by Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), the obligation to unlock handset SIMs and the proposals by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ Task Force on Mobile Phone Rates and Other Conditions for Service Offerings) and other factors.

Amid these changes in the market environment, we positioned the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 as the period to make a solid step forward towards the delivery of our medium-term targets, and we managed our business with a particular focus on our operating income target.

To boost our telecommunications services revenues, we have added new options to the “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” new billing plan, implemented various measures to expand the adoption of the “docomo Hikari” optical-fiber broadband service and continued our efforts to strengthen our communications network and offer attractive handsets.

Meanwhile, we have also strived to add new services to our “dmarket” marketplace and enrich the content portfolio of our services in a bid to grow our smart life business and other businesses, while promoting further cost efficiency improvements to reinforce our managerial structure.

In addition, we have launched “+d” value co-creation initiatives, aiming to deliver new values by making available the business assets that we have accumulated through our operations, such as our payment platform and loyalty program, to a large number of external partners. As part of this endeavor, we have rebranded the former “docomo Point” program into “d POINT” to offer a point service that is highly convenient and useful for our customers with the aim of expanding the structure of the “+d” activities.

As a result of the foregoing, we achieved significant improvement in, among other metrics, operating income and operational performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Furthermore, we were awarded the No. 1 overall ranking in the “2015 Japan Mobile Phone Service Study^SM”* conducted by J.D. Power Asia Pacific.

Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.		410.1		548.4		33.7	%

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, Operating revenues increased by ¥143.7 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥4,527.1 billion for two reasons, (i) the recovery of our telecommunication business due mainly to an acceleration of users migrating to higher-end plans of Packet Pack, data buckets of our new billing plan “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru,” and an expansion in demand for tablets and other products purchased as a second mobile device by individual users and (ii) the growth of our smart life business such as “dmarket” and other content services.

Operating expenses, on the other hand, decreased by ¥0.3 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥3,744.1 billion, due mainly to decreases in selling expenses and network-related costs as a result of cost efficiency improvements, despite an increase in costs associated with increased revenues in smart life business and other businesses.

As a result, Operating income increased by ¥144.0 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥783.0 billion, which was significantly higher than ¥710.0 billion, the full-year forecast as revised in the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, allowing us to make substantial progress toward the attainment of our medium-term goals.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates was ¥778.0 billion, and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. increased by ¥138.3 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥548.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

Principal initiatives of our group in each business segment in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 are summarized below.

n	Telecommunications Business

Even though the negative impact from the “Monthly Support” discount program increased, we saw a continuous recovery of ARPU due mainly to an acceleration of the number of users migrating to higher-end plans of Packet Pack, data buckets of our new billing plan “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru.” Furthermore, Operating revenues from telecommunications business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 increased by ¥35.2 billion, or 1.0%, to ¥3,689.8 billion for the same period of the previous fiscal year, due to the expansion in demand for tablets and other products purchased as a second mobile device by individual users, and the growth of subscriptions of the “docomo Hikari” optical-fiber broadband service to 1.57 million.

Operating expenses from telecommunications business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 decreased by ¥37.6 billion, or 1.2%, to ¥2,980.9 billion for the same period of the previous fiscal year due mainly to decreases in selling expenses and network-related costs as a result of cost efficiency improvements.

Consequently, Operating income from telecommunications business was ¥708.9 billion, an increase of ¥72.8 billion, or 11.4%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Topics

Enrichment of New Billing Plan, “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru”

In September 2015, we introduced the “Kake-hodai Light” plan which allows customers to make unlimited domestic voice calls under five minutes at a flat monthly rate.

In March 2016, we started offering “Share Pack 5,” a package that allows families with limited data usage to share monthly data allowances of 5GB.

These new options allow customers to more freely select the combination of a basic monthly plan and a “Share Pack” most suited to their actual voice and data consumption behavior. In the case of a three-member family, for example, by subscribing to the combination of “Kake-hodai Light” and “Share Pack 5,” each member of the family can use a smartphone at a cost of less than ¥5,000 a month.

Actions to Expand Adoption of “docomo Hikari”

With respect to the “docomo Hikari” optical-fiber broadband service we commenced in March 2015, we increased the number of Internet Service Provider (ISP) partners to 23 as of March 31, 2016, compared to 14 upon the launch of service. Thereby we provided customers with greater options and enabled a larger number of users to continue using the same ISP after converting their existing “FLET’s Hikari” subscription contract over to “docomo Hikari.”

We have also added new services and rate plans catering to the needs of customers, such as “docomo Hikari-mini,” a two-tier flat-rate plan that offers data speeds of up to 100Mbps, and “docomo Hikari Business Wi-Fi,” a cloud-based Wi-Fi service for enterprise customers offered together with operational support. As a result of the foregoing, the total number of subscription applications exceeded 1.80 million in the end of March 2016 and the total number of subscriptions to “docomo Hikari” reached 1.57 million.

Enriched Lineup of Attractive Handsets

We have strived to enrich our handset lineup to respond to the various needs of customers with the release of the 2015 summer models and 2015-2016 winter/spring models comprising Android smartphones as well as iPhone 6s^* and iPhone 6s Plus^*. As a result, the total number of smartphones sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 amounted to 15.44 million units, of which tablet devices accounted for 2.18 million units due to a favorable increase in the sales of “dtab d-01G,” “Arrows Tab F-03G,” iPad Air2^* and other models.

Actions for Reinforcement of Communication Network

To offer a more convenient network service to our customers, we have expanded the coverage of our “PREMIUM 4G” to 976 cities across Japan as of March 31, 2016. Meanwhile, we also started offering a maximum downlink speed of 300Mbps in selected areas from October 2015.

In addition, we conducted surveys of effective data speeds adhering to the “Guidelines for the Effective Speed Measurement Method of Internet Connection Services Provided by Mobile Telecommunications Carriers and Information Providing Method, etc. for Users” defined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The results indicated that we offer both high download speeds and high upload speeds (the median (Android + iOS) of our download speeds is 71Mbps and that of our upload speeds is 21Mbps).

Operation of Commercial Network Utilizing Virtualization Techniques

The employment of equipment using these techniques from March 2016 allowed us to offer higher quality network services to our customers. The techniques realized better connectivity in cases of network congestion and higher reliability in the event of the failure of facilities.

Securing Communications in Disasters, etc.

With the aim of reinforcing our communication capacity in densely populated areas during wide-area disasters or power outages, we moved ahead with the conversion of large-zone base stations to make them compatible with LTE in order to increase the communication capacity by approximately three fold. In addition, we roll out medium-zone base stations across Japan to secure communications in the centers of coastal and mountainous areas.

Response to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake

After the earthquake on April 14, 2016, communication areas were secured by providing area support through the operation of satellite mobile base station vehicles and medium-zone base stations, and power supply support by operating mobile power-supply vehicles and power and electricity generation equipment. The service area was fully restored on April 27, 2016.

Furthermore, free charging services and free Wi-Fi access points were quickly set up in order to secure communications for disaster-affected customers, and the payment deadlines for charges were extended and accessories such as chargers provided for free as means of supporting customers in Kumamoto, as a region where the Disaster Relief Act applied.

n	Smart Life Business

Operating revenues from smart life business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 were ¥504.1 billion, an increase of ¥60.8 billion, or 13.7%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to the growth in revenues from “dmarket” and other content services, an increase in the amounts of “d CARD” and other finance/payment services transactions, and an expansion of revenues from our subsidiaries’ services such as shopping services.

Operating expenses from smart life business were ¥457.7 billion, an increase of ¥12.0 billion, or 2.7%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year, driven primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the growth in revenues from “dmarket” and other content services, which more than offset the reduction of impairment loss of our multimedia broadcasting business for mobile devices assets which has been included from the previous fiscal year.

As a consequence, operating income from smart life business was ¥46.5 billion, an increase of ¥48.8 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year.


Topics

Initiatives Aimed at Expanding “dmarket” Subscriptions^* and Usage

To expand the adoption of “dmarket” services to a broader range of users, we have strived to add new services and enrich the content of our offerings.

In May 2015, as a new service on “dmarket,” we launched “dgourmet,” a service that provides total support to customers’ demands pertaining to food by offering various food-related tips and discount coupons, etc. At the same time, we have continued our endeavors to enrich the content of our “dTV,” “danime store,” “dhits,” ”dkids” and “dmagazine” services. As a result of these undertakings, the combined “dmarket” subscriptions grew to 15.54 million as of March 31, 2016.

The total number of users using “dTV,” “danime store,” “dhits,” “dkids,” “dmagazine” and “dgourmet” services under a monthly subscription arrangement.

Issuance of “d POINT CARD” and “d CARD”

From December 2015, we commenced issuing “d POINT CARD” (which allows users to earn and use “d POINTs” just by showing the card when shopping at our partner stores), and rebranded our conventional credit card known as “DCMX” into “d CARD.” “d CARD” combines the credit payment and electronic money capabilities with the standard features of “d POINT CARD” and allows users to earn “d POINTs” at more advantageous rates.

The total membership of “d POINT CLUB,” a loyalty program for our customers, reached approximately 58 million as of March 31, 2016, of which the number of “d POINT CARD” registrants grew to over 3.5 million in just 4 months from the beginning of issuance.

Introduction of New Services toward Realization of Smart Life

In October 2015, we launched “Sukijikan,” a service that allows customers to try out various pastime experiences after selecting from a rich menu of approximately 300 options.

In November 2015, we started the “Tegaki Hon’yaku” handwriting translation service to provide users with means for hassle-free communication through the combination of translated handwritten texts and illustrations in situations where it is difficult to describe the context only by words.

Furthermore, in December 2015, we introduced a new social gift service “giftco,” which enables customers to easily send a small amount of gift tickets to others at anytime from anywhere.

n	Other businesses

Operating revenues from other businesses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 amounted to ¥359.3 billion, an increase of ¥45.8 billion, or 14.6%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in revenues resulting from the expanded uptake of our “Mobile Device Protection Service” and the growth of revenues relating to our IoT^*businesses.

Operating expenses from other businesses were ¥331.6 billion, an increase of ¥23.5 billion, or 7.6%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year, as a result of an increase in expenses associated with the expansion of revenues from our “Mobile Device Protection Service” and other services.

Consequently, Operating income from other businesses was ¥27.7 billion, an increase of ¥22.3 billion, or 414.4 % from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Topics

Expansion of IoT business

With the goal of further accelerating the use of IoT, we introduced a new billing plan, “LTE Ubiquitous Plan,” enabling the use of communications modules over our LTE network in Japan.

As for overseas, in Brazil, we started providing eSIMs and eSIM-based solutions, which enable devices to switch between DOCOMO phone numbers and Vivo^* phone numbers without having to replace the physical SIM in their devices. This marks the first agreement between a Japanese telecommunications carrier and an overseas operator for the provision of eSIM-based solutions. The solution is planned to be embedded in the export products of Yanmar Co. Ltd. to provide various remote information services, such as equipment operational status management, operational status diagnosis and theft prevention.

(3) Trend of Capital Expenditures

Expansion of Telecommunications Facilities

As a result of our aggressive roll-out of “PREMIUM 4G” service in urban areas to construct a network that can offer comfortable access to our customers, the total number of “PREMIUM 4G”-compatible base stations increased from previously 900 stations as of March 31, 2015 to 22,800 stations as of March 31, 2016.

In addition, in pursuit of further coverage improvement, we increased the total number of LTE base stations from 97,400 as of March 31, 2015 to 138,100 as of March 31, 2016.

Measures for More Efficient Use of Capital Expenditures

Toward the goal of further strengthening our managerial structure, we continued to pursue more efficient use of capital expenditures through the integration and/or capacity expansion of our facilities by introducing new technologies or equipment, such as “advanced C-RAN*.” We also pursued further improvement of the efficiency of construction of telecommunications facilities and reduction of equipment procurement costs.

Technology for increasing the utilization efficiency of frequencies by simultaneously controlling base stations covering broad areas and base stations covering localized areas.

As a result of the above measures, the total capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, decreased by 10.1% from the previous fiscal year to ¥595.2 billion.

(4) Financing Activities

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we did not make any long-term financing through capital increase, issuance of corporate bonds or long-term borrowings.

(5) Research and Development Activities

<< Technology Put to Practical Use During the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2016 >>

Communications toy

Following on from development of natural-language processing technology forged in the development of “Shabette-Concier,” a communications toy using a natural-language dialogue platform, we jointly developed “OHaNAS,” a next-generation communications toy that allows users to enjoy free, natural dialogue, with TOMY Company, Ltd., which launched sales of “OHaNAS” in October 2015.

New translation service

We developed “Tegaki Hon’yaku” (a handwriting translation service), an application that automatically recognizes and translates handwritten words and sentences on smartphones and tablets. “Tegaki Hon’yaku” also has an illustration function that provides for new communication by enabling users to annotate handwritten maps and comments and translate these to provide directions. This application provides translation in six languages.

(8) Issues to be addressed by the Group

We developed our corporate vision for 2020, “HEART: Pursuing Smart Innovation” to propel further growth and propose new values to society in anticipation of future social changes.

Also, under the banner of becoming a “Smart Life Partner” for our customers, we tackled the challenge of “reinforcing our competitiveness in telecommunications business” and “stepped up our efforts in the smart life business and other businesses.” Furthermore, we unveiled the “New Initiatives toward Delivery of Medium-Term Targets” on the occasion of the full-year results presentation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.


Initiatives to be Implemented over the Medium Term

In order to respond to our customers’ needs on an ongoing basis, by further evolving our relationships with various external partners through open collaboration, we will continue to create new added value by moving forward with our “+d” initiatives.

Specifically, we, together with our partners, will roll out initiatives in order to co-create new added value, making available to our partners our own business assets, such as our payment platform and point program. Through these endeavors, we will aim to deliver “more benefits, more fun and more convenience” to our customers in tandem with our partners.

In addition to creating value for our customers, we will also strive to offer new value to various of our partners. Particularly, in the areas of “IoT,” “Regional Revitalization,” “2020,” and “Solution of Social Issues,” we will move forward with the “co-creation of social values,” creating new services and businesses in collaboration with our partners and utilizing the assets of both parties, with the goal of capturing revenue opportunities in new business fields that transcend the confines of industries or business formats.


FY2016 Priority Initiatives

Positioning FY2016 as the year in which we intend to make “a vibrant leap toward further growth” beyond income recovery, we will work concurrently on expanding our telecommunications business and reinforcing our smart life business and other businesses.

Expansion of Telecommunications Business

In FY2016, we expect a full-scale reexamination of handset prices and tariffs throughout the mobile industry. In light of these expected changes, we will reinforce our focus on families and strengthen our ability to propose comprehensive offerings comprising mobile phones, optical-fiber and other services. In this way, we plan to take the lead in changing the field of competition in the mobile industry.

As part of this endeavor, in March 2016 we introduced new billing plan offerings for light-usage customers, consisting of the new data package “Share Pack 5,” enabling families to share 5MB of data, and the expansion of the applicability of the “Kake-hodai Light” voice plan to lower volume data packages. In addition, starting June 2016, we will launch new offerings for long-term users consisting of two new rate options allowing customers to choose subscriptions with or without cancellation fees, increased discounts in the “Zutto DOCOMO Wari” scheme and the addition of reward points for customers renewing their subscriptions.

We will aim to secure income from telecommunications business through an ARPU increase resulting from expanded adoption of the new billing plan and on-going cost efficiency improvement efforts.

Reinforcement of Smart Life Business and Other Businesses

With respect to our smart life business and other businesses, we will work to grow our subscriptions by further enriching the services and content offered on our “dmarket” marketplace, such as “dTV,” “dhits” and “dmagazine.” We will also step up the “+d” initiatives that we pursue together with our partners for new value creation by combining our finance/payment platforms, point program and other business assets that we have accumulated in our operations with those assets of our partners. We will also work to enhance the attractiveness of our “d POINT” loyalty point program by increasing the number of participating partners and accelerate the adoption of “d ACCOUNT.”

Through these undertakings we aim to reach the medium-term target indicators we announced for FY2017, one year ahead of schedule.


Item	FY2016 Target	Reference: FY2017 Medium-Term Target
Operating income	¥910.0 billion	¥820.0 billion or higher

(11) Status of Parent Company and Principal Subsidiaries

(a) Relationship with Parent Company

NTT, our parent company, currently owns 2,469,084,400 shares of our company (65.66% of all shares^*) as of March 31, 2016. The Company conducts business mainly in the mobile communication field under its own managerial responsibilities within the NTT Group.

The Company and NTT have concluded an agreement on the content of services and benefits provided by NTT to the Company and the compensation with respect to basic research and development and group management by NTT.

* The percentage of shares held is calculated excluding treasury shares.

(b) Transactions with Parent Company

The Company and NTT have concluded agreements on the content of services and benefits provided by NTT to the Company, and compensation for the same, with respect to basic research and development and group management conducted by NTT. Including such agreements, any material contracts concluded between the Company and NTT are subject to legal review by the Legal Department and auditing by the audit & supervisory board members. In addition particularly important agreements must be approved at meeting of the Board of Directors at which both independent outside directors and independent outside audit & supervisory board members are present.

In addition, as stated in the “Note regarding related party transactions” in the notes to the Company’s non-consolidated financial statements, the Company repurchased treasury stock from NTT. The purchase was made by means of a tender offer providing a certain period for consideration by shareholders other than NTT and the opportunity to apply while monitoring trends in the market price from the perspective of equality between shareholders and transparency of the transaction, and from the standpoint of respecting the interests of the shareholders who do not accept the tender offer and continue to hold our common stock. We also decided to purchase the shares at a certain discount from the market price so as to stem the flow of assets from the Company to the greatest extent possible. Furthermore, from the perspective of avoiding arbitrariness in the process of the Company’s decision-making of examining and determining the tender offer, Takashi Nakamura, a director of the Company concurrently serving as an employee of NTT, did not attend meetings of the Board of Directors regarding the examination and resolution of the tender offer; neither was he involved in discussions and negotiations with NTT from the standpoint of the Company. Based on the above, the Board of Directors has determined that the content and conditions of the transaction pertaining to the purchase are fair and appropriate, and do not harm the interests of the Company.

There are no subsidiaries that are considered to be principal subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016.

There were 124 subsidiaries and 27 affiliates as of March 31, 2016.

(d) Material contracts for management of the company

The audit contract between the Company and the independent auditor does not distinguish among audit fees paid for audits performed pursuant to the Companies Act, audit fees paid for audits performed pursuant to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and audit fees paid for audits performed pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, and since it is not practically possible to make such a distinction, the amounts indicated in the audit fees paid to the independent auditor in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 above are totals.

(3) Grounds for consenting to audit fees paid to the independent auditor

The audit & supervisory board consented to the audit fees paid to the independent auditor after considering the time required for the audit and details such as the allocation of personnel under the independent auditor’s audit plan; the suitability of the state of execution of the audit by the independent auditor; and the basis for the calculation of the estimated fees.

(4) Policies concerning decisions to discharge or not reappoint independent auditors

In the event that the circumstances set forth in any of the items of Article 340, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act apply to the independent auditor, the independent auditor is to be discharged by a unanimous resolution of the Audit & Supervisory Board.

In addition, if the Company determines that it would be difficult for the independent auditor to perform proper audits, the Audit & Supervisory Board may determine the content of a proposal to the general meeting of shareholders that the independent auditor be discharged or not be reappointed.

5. The State of Corporate Governance

(1) Overview of corporate governance structure

In regard to our core telecommunications businesses, we recognize that mobile phones have come to play a vital role as social infrastructure in line with market expansion for these products. Accordingly, we have adopted a corporate governance structure consisting of the Board of Directors, audit & supervisory board members and an Audit & Supervisory Board. This structure reflects a desire for directors to play a key role in important business execution matters, from the standpoint of realizing consistent and stable business operations through the effective utilization of management resources. From the perspective of ensuring sound and efficient management, this configuration also reflects the desire for a structure in which directors, serving concurrently as executive officers responsible for business execution, mutually supervise their respective actions, while audit & supervisory board members perform audits of overall management. Similarly, we appoint outside directors and audit & supervisory board members, with a view to further enhancing monitoring and audit functions.

In addition, we have introduced the executive officer system (27 men and no women currently serve as executive officers and 8 executive officers concurrently hold the post of director) to clearly delineate the roles of business execution and monitoring, and to better reinforce business execution functions. This system enables speedier responsiveness to changes in the operating environment. Through the initiatives mentioned above, we strive constantly to boost management speed in order to realize consistent and stable business operations, as well as develop a corporate governance structure capable of bolstering both auditing and governance functions.

Our business execution and management supervision mechanisms are summarized in the figure below:

LOGO

n	The State of the Company’s Corporate Governance

The Opinion of Independent Outside Director, Teruyasu Murakami:

As the first independent outside director since the ordinary general meeting of shareholders held in 2013, I have played a part in the Company’s corporate governance to contribute to the improvement of corporate value and the sustained growth of the Company’s business representing the interests of general shareholders. I have a background of 20 years of activities in information and telecommunications and IT strategy at Nomura Research Institute, as well as research on service innovation amassed at the Research Institute for Industrial Strategy. Since being appointed I have endeavored to understand the actual condition of DOCOMO’s management and I have developed deeper strategic thinking not only by attending meetings of the Board of Directors, but also by exchanging opinions outside the Board of Directors and actively participating in internal events.

The Company does not limit contact between independent outside directors and the Company to meetings of the Board of Directors, and allows contact that is sufficiently open; indeed I strongly feel that a support structure has been effectively created to enable independent outside directors to provide opinions and suggestions.

Based on this, I have actively offered my opinions in meetings of the Board of Directors to all proposals believed to be important as viewed by an independent outside director. In this process, I have had a sense of the quality of discussion improving year by year as honest and active discussion has been carried out in the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result of such discussion, I feel that the opinions of independent outside directors are taken seriously by the Company’s Board of Directors, and are appropriately reflected in management.

To improve corporate governance of the Company, which has NTT (a company with a certain number of shares owned by the government) as a parent company, is challenging issue. I believe it is also a matter of interest for shareholders, and it is my understanding that the Company has responded well to this challenging issue with an accurate response to environmental change and an excellent sense of balance, and the Company’ effort are beginning to have positive effect on business results.

(2) Systems for ensuring the propriety of the Company’s business activities and their operational status

A summary of the Board of Directors resolutions concerning the development and operation status of systems to ensure the propriety of the Company’s business activities (internal control systems) is set forth below.

A.	Basic stance on fortifying internal control systems

(a)

In fortifying the internal control systems, the Company aims to achieve legal compliance, management of loss risk and appropriate and efficient business operations and consider various measures, including regulations, organizational and structural improvement, formulation of action plans and the monitoring of activities.

(b)

An internal control committee will be formed as an entity overseeing efforts to have the internal control systems function more efficiently. The committee will aim to fortify internal control systems from the cross-departmental perspective; upon assessing efficacy, necessary improvements will be carried out.

(c)	Appropriate efforts will be made with regard to ensuring the reliability of the internal control systems, which will be involved with the financial reporting based on the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

(d)	The Board of Directors will approve the basic policy on fortifying internal control systems (the Basic Policy), receive regular reports on the progress of the initiative to fortify internal control systems, and oversee and monitor the internal control systems of the Company.

(e)	As chief executive officer, the president and representative director will oversee the efforts to build the internal control systems based on the Basic Policy approved by board members.

B.	Fortifying structure relating to internal control systems

(a)	System to ensure that the performance of duties by directors and employees conform with laws and regulations and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation

We institute the “NTT DOCOMO Group Code of Ethics” and compliance-related regulations and create requisite systems for ethical and legal compliance. In addition, when preparing financial statements, officers responsible for finance, audit & supervisory board members, and independent auditors hold preliminary discussions of significant accounting policies, and for disclosure of company information including financial statements in a manner that conforms with securities-related laws and regulations, matters are decided at meetings of the Board of Directors after the necessary internal procedures pursuant to in-house regulations have been completed. Also, internal audit staff conducts audits of the company’s overall business activities to ensure conformity with laws and regulations and in-house regulations.

(b)	System for storage and maintenance of information relating to the performance of duties by directors

We have audited the consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes of NTT DOCOMO, INC. as at March 31, 2016 and for the year from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016 in accordance with Article 444-4 of the Companies Act.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the second sentence of Article 120-1 applied mutatis mutandis persuant to Article 120-3-3 of the Ordinance on Company Accounting that prescribes some omissions of disclosure items required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit as independent auditor. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the financial statement audit is not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, which were prepared in accordance with the second sentence of Article 120-1 applied mutatis mutandis persuant to Article 120-3-3 of the Ordinance on Company Accounting that prescribes some omissions of disclosure items required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of NTT DOCOMO, INC. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period, for which the consolidated financial statements were prepared.

Other Matter

Our firm and engagement partners have no interest in the Company which should be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Law of Japan.

We have audited the non-consolidated financial statements, comprising the non-consolidated balance sheet, the non-consolidated statement of income, the non-consolidated statement of changes in net assets and the related notes, and the supplementary schedules of NTT DOCOMO, INC. as at March 31, 2016 and for the year from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016 in accordance with Article 436-2-1 of the Companies Act.

Management’s Responsibility for the non-consolidated Financial Statements and Others

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules based on our audit as independent auditor. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the non-consolidated financial statement audit is not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of NTT DOCOMO, INC. for the period, for which the non-consolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules were prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Other Matter

Our firm and engagement partners have no interest in the Company which should be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Law of Japan.
