I'd be curious what Japan-knowledgeable hackers say about this. The instances I remember were ones where they chose a figurehead on the exec team, usually one close to retirement, who accepts full responsibility and resigns to publicly take one for the team. It's sort of a fake mea culpa, in which the culpa isn't in reality mea, but is rather more structural and nobody wants to admit it.
