There are many tax, fees, and legal barriers that make Japan not very friendly for startups. Unfortunately, there is no progress there (as far as I know).

That's awesome! Yes, I think having just one successful role model in the local community will make a huge impact.

I think http://www.hatena.ne.jp/ is the closest to an equivalent to Hacker News. Maybe 2chan?

FINALLY!
