The Rise of MBOs in Japan — Delisting and the Philosophy of Freedom

A quiet yet undeniable transformation is taking place in Japan’s business world.
It’s called MBO — Management Buy-Out, a process where company executives buy back their own firms to take them private.

◆ Introduction: A Revolution in Silence

In this episode, we explore why more Japanese leaders are stepping away from the stock market and reclaiming ownership of their companies — and what this shift reveals about Japan’s evolving approach to freedom and long-term vision in business.

“To escape the short-term pressure from shareholders and pursue long-term ideals.”
That desire lies at the heart of every MBO.

This episode unfolds like a modern fable — a story of independence, renewal, and rediscovery of freedom in Japan’s corporate landscape.
