The Rise and Fall of Japanese Tech Giants? #shorts
Remember when Japanese companies used to make the coolest stuff in the world?
From the '80s, you had the Walkman that made everyone want to walk around with headphones.
Japan brought us Super Mario from Nintendo, arguably the most recognizable video game character on the planet.
Then, we got the PlayStation that saved video gaming and the Toyota Prius that made hybrids cool.
But, why doesn't there seem to be a single globally dominant company coming out of Japan since the '90s?
In 1988, 32 of the world's top 50 companies were Japanese.
As of 2025, only Toyota makes the list.
So, how did Japan go from dominating the world to being completely invisible in the global tech race?
