Japan: Hiring, Funding And Leadership Signals
Every update we hold that a source placed in Japan: 453 updates from 66 sources, across 449 employers. Each one links to the filing or report that makes the claim. These are counts of documents we have read, so they measure what we have found and can cite, not everything that happened. They also include the routine officer filings the tracker sets aside by default, so its figure for this place is lower than the one above.
Covering 2 Oct 2024 to 1 Sep 2026
$130,265,684 disclosed across 14 funding updates. Totals cover the 8 of 14 funding updates that are money the employer raised, stated in US dollars. We leave out amounts in other currencies rather than convert them at a rate nobody published. We also leave out money that moved for another reason: a sale price, a fund close, a company spending rather than raising, government funding, a pledge.

OLBA HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS,INC.: change of representative director filed with EDINET
A Japanese listed company must file an extraordinary report when its representative director changes, and EDINET publishes that reason as a typed clause rather than as prose, so this is a complete rather than selective feed of chief-executive change in Japan: it covers the mid-cap employers no outlet writes about on the same basis as the large ones. Read it narrowly. The clause covers the representative director alone, not the wider board and not senior management, and it does not say whether the person arrived or left. It also exempts a change already described in the annual report, which is the commonest timing for a Japanese succession, so this is a floor on Japanese leadership change rather than a count of it.
