Abstract
In sharp contrast to the genteel, dark-suit wearing Japanese business elite, Takafumi Horie, the Chief Executive Officer of Livedoor, was flamboyant and informal. Horie symbolised the new generation of Japanese entrepreneurs who dared to challenge the status quo in the conservative business community. His rapid rise to fame, largely because of his acquisition spree, had shocked many. Greater was the reaction when he was arrested on charges of falsifying the financial statements of the company.
