The Japanese biotech market (for the purposes of this question,
consider biotech to mean emerging companies developing therapeutic
medicines - small and large molecule) is in its infancy compared to
its western counterparts, for various reasons.
I would like to find out the names of all (I am guessing there are
less than 100) of the Japanese biotech firms and their therapeutic
areas of focus. I am primarily interested in those with an oncology
focus.
Please include links to resources consulted.
Thanks!

I need an answer to this question really soon.  I'm a first timer on
Google Answers, so I don't know all of the nuances.  However, I'll
give an additional $25 tip for a solid answer to this question by
midnight tonight. Again, I am primarily interested in oncology-focused
startups in Japan. Please let me know if you have any questions for me
from here.
Thanks!
