The story is the result of gross mistranslation.
The original Asahi Shimbun article mentions that Sega is hiring a guy named Tetsu Kayama as a consultant for their network operations, then goes on to list his previous accomplishments, including creating joint-managed companies with Nintendo and Komuro. This got interpreted as the things that Kayama is going to do for Sega, somehow.
