Anyway, we just started using software from a gaijin owned company in Japan which actually does most of its business outside of Japan and actually has a lot of gaijin working for them in Fukuoka and Tokyo and outside Japan too. I met a few of there people when we hired them to install at my university some software they make.
I spoke to them a little bit because they have some operations in Chinese speaking country so obviously I was maneuvering to get a job after graduation
But they told me the j-government monitors the % of Japanese to Gaijin regardless of sponsored visa, permanent resident or marriage and they are given a very hard time to sponsor work visa's but can sponsor a few. Anyway, most of the gaijin that work for them have other visa's like marriage visa so they don't need to sponsor them but the J government still counts the gaijin against them when they sponsoring visa as if the gaijin are under work visa but they are not. So they get punished.
Anyway, if you already have visa and speak english or chinese you might want to take a look at they because they are "really" gaijin friendly and growing very fast with some interesting business in and outside Japan.
Here's english website http://edozun.com there is Japanese one too but the appeal mainly to an outside Japan audience which is very funny i think. But good if you want to work in english workplace and get better treatment. I do not know if they are hiring but I put up the information so you can see.
