Useful Resources

Here you can find a list of resources that can aid your research into Japanese companies. Some are in Japanese but Google Translate on Chrome (or Deepl) should do the trick!

I’ve also added some sites for management interviews that are Video-based and in Japanese. Unfortunately, these are difficult to convert to English but have included them here anyway.

Analyst reports in English
