Rubbish. Fumio Urano is still the 'big boss' of Pentax (officially Chairman of the Board). In case you do not know him: he's the designer of the Pentax LX, the best camera of its time (even better than the Canon F1 and Nikon F3). If there's someone who will protect Pentax from the gutter and ensuring the production of top-notch cameras then it will be him.
