YASUMASA GOMI, CHAIRMAN and chief executive of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, shares a laugh with colleague Tsutomu "Tom" Tanaka, a senior managing director graciously on translation duties for his boss, when Euromoney visits.

In a meeting room situated high in the Maronouchi building, itself perched between Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace on some of the city’s most expensive real estate, Gomi sits back expectantly.
Tanaka translates: "Suddenly the whole world seems to be having a party, and Japan was the only country not invited."
