2 of my family members are still using Yahoo. I haven’t heard any issues from them for several years. Compared to Gmail which you can expect a downtime any month from now.

Wasn't Yahoo Japan always the Yahoo branch?

Like incredibly deeply ingrained in online life on the Japanese.

"Yahoo! Japan" is a different company altogether from this Yahoo though. They were founded by the original Yahoo! and SoftBank. After the original Yahoo was mostly acquired by Verizon, the remains of it were spun into a company of its own "Altaba", which was later acquired by SoftBank and then made a part of Z-Holdings a joint venture of SoftBank and the Korean Naver Corporation. And just recently it was announced that the individual companies of Z-Holdings will be merged into one big company. The Japanese internet business is quite the rabbit hole! (Disclaimer, I work for LINE Corp, another subsidiary of Z-Holdings)

Cool you work for LINE. I quite enjoyed going through the wiki for Z Holdings
