Seems like he has been asked to leave as mentioned it is a "mutual agreement" but definitely he would have been forced for this mutual agreement.

Very sad to hear " Ishiwata noted: "It must be [a] big surprise that I’m not part of Marantz organization... I thought I’d be forever a part of Marantz. Unfortunately that’s not the case."
