7-Eleven was founded in the US, and yet, today it's owned by a Japanese parent company.
This actually came as quite a shock to me.
Are there any other hidden Japanese companies out there?

---
Headquarters:
Tokyo, Japan
Dallas, Texas, USA

Key people:
Toshifumi Suzuki, Chairman
Joseph M. DePinto, President/CEO
Masaaki Asakura, EVP/COO

Fun facts:
Japan has more 7-Eleven locations than anywhere else in the world. Of the 34,200 stores around the globe, 12,013 of them are located in Japan. 1,577 are in Tokyo alone.

The feel and look of the store is somewhat different from that of the U.S. 7-Elevens in Japan offer a wider selection of products and services. Japanese 7-Elevens offer not only food, drinks, and magazines, but also video games and consoles, music CDs, DVDs, digital cardreaders as well as seasonal items like Christmas cakes, Valentine's Day chocolates, and fireworks. Slurpees and Big Gulp super size soft drinks are no longer sold in Japan; these products were not popular when 7-Eleven originally opened in Japan.

7-Elevens have awesome Slurpees. Even if slurpees are nothing but frozen sugarwater, it's fucking delicious frozen sugarwater. Also, everything they sell there that isn't wrapped in plastic has a 50/50 chance of giving you the runs.

I doubt you'll find even one product here that is the same as what you got there in the US.
