Yahoo is actually very, very dominant here in Japan. There's even a (popular) Yahoo ISP.
I probably know more Japanese people with Yahoo e-mail addresses than I do Japanese people with gmail addresses.
- TorKlingberg 12y agoYes Yahoo Japan is very big, but it is mostly separate from Yahoo.com.
- eloisant 12y agoThat's a join venture dominated by Softbank (that's also a cell phone operator, and owner of Sprint). Yahoo Inc. only holds 35% of it, and licences his name to this separate company. User accounts are separate too, if you create an account everywhere in the world but Japan it's a @yahoo.com account, but in Japan it's @yahoo.co.jp.
