After serving as DMC Executive Producer in 2021, he became President and Representative Director of Prodrone Co., Ltd. on March 31, 2021. Totani, who was appointed, said the following.

``Chairman Kono has helped us refine PRODRONE's technology during the drone PoC and social demonstration phase.My role is to increase social acceptance during the drone popularization phase, mass produce the drone, and grow it as a business.I feel very humbled. PRODRONE will also actively work on SDGs. We will strengthen our relationship with not only our products but also the internal environment and local communities, and promote ESG management. PRODRONE's development system that produces high-quality, highly reliable aircraft is our core value. PRODRONE's aircraft and systems aim to become the standard in the sky. PRODRONE's aircraft will protect the country and people's lives, and realize value creation in a drone-based society."
