Haruo Shikanai dramatically improved Fuji Television's performance and made it the number one entertainment company in Japan.

The 1986 film The Adventures of Milo and Otis, for which Haruo Shikanai served as Executive Producer and Hisashi Hieda and Masaru Kakutani as Executive in Charge of Production, attracted approximately 7.5 million viewers and became the top-grossing domestic film of the year in Japan.

This record stood for 34 years as the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film in the U.S. until it was surpassed by Godzilla Minus One in 2023, which earned approximately $14.36 million.

In 2005, as part of restructuring the capital structure of the Fujisankei, Fuji Television launched a public tender offer for shares of Nippon Broadcasting System.

During this process, Takafumi Horie’s Livedoor attempted a hostile takeover of Nippon Broadcasting System, but ultimately gave up.

Fuji Television, having achieved victory, made Nippon Broadcasting System a wholly owned subsidiary.

In January 2006, Takafumi Horie was arrested on charges related to Livedoor's accounting fraud and was later sentenced to two years and six months in prison.
