Rakuten is very big in Japan, pretty established. Like Amazon/eBay, but a bit different. They've also got global but quite cautious ambitions.

Interesting trivia from a friend working there, and quite unusual for a Japanese company: most (Project Management, Development, Management) internal communication above a certain job-grade level is conducted in English, including in Japan.

This is true and really neat. I was in Japan a couple years ago and met a product manager that worked at Rakuten and he told me the same thing.
