Being borne in 1894 one might venture a guess that his role as chairman in 1977 was more decorative than actively participating in the running of the company.

I think you are correct; they probably left it vacant until a proper vote could be held the next April; hence, most Chairmen take their posts around May/June, after the official vote.

I've done more research and the last name that is missing appears to be that of Shizuo Asada, who was Chairman between 1981 and 1983.

Thanks for your help! Please let me know if I got any information wrong.
