Nissan chief executive Hiroto Saikawa will step down next week as the carmaker grapples with an executive pay scandal.
The announcement followed a meeting of the carmaker's board on Monday.
The Nissan boss had come under pressure after saying he had been overpaid as part of a bonus scheme.
However, he denied wrongdoing.
Mr. Saikawa will quit on September 16.
