Shihainin

A shihainin (支配人, lit. "manager") is an authorized representative of a company or unincorporated business under Japanese commercial law. A shihainin has full legal authority to represent the company/business at the place of business to which the shihainin is assigned. This authority may be restricted, but any restriction is unassertable against a third party acting in good faith. In most businesses, the term is mainly used in corporate legal documents. However, it is popular in certain industries, such as hotels and restaurants, as the sole designation for the manager of a particular property.
