Hoshino is expected to bolster the investment team at a time when CEO Masayoshi Son has received criticism for his top-down investing approach.Ex-hedge fund manager Hoshino is the second SoftBank hire from a group at Japan Post Bank that was known as the"Seven Samurai" and tried a more aggressive investing strategy that has since been rolled back.
