How can my husband go from a 5 year visa to 1 year upon renewal?

We provided all the documents required, submitted 4 years worth of income tax and residence tax, insurance and pension, juuminhyo, all the years of his contracts, visa sticker and more.

He has been consistently employed by the same company which is a large corporation with a yearly increase and bonuses, have paid all his dues and on top of that, he had a 5 year visa previously. Never had a problem with the police or anything like that. We don’t understand why he got only 1 year since if you start with 5 and had no issues, it usually renews to 5 years like mine but immigration didn’t really explain why either. Please tell us what could have gone wrong.

Has anyone encountered or experienced this? Is there a new rule after covid?

Additional: it is for a Specialist in Humanities Visa
