1st place: Tadashi Yanai
He is the president of FAST RETAILING, which develops UNIQLO. It is predicted to have assets of over 2 trillion yen, making it the richest man in Japan. It is said that UNIQLO will continue to develop further in the future, and will form more assets.

Second place: Masayoshi Son
He is known to many as the president of Softbank. Again, we have more than 2 trillion yen in assets, and there is a possibility that we can earn even more income from the success of our business.

3rd place: Takemitsu Takizaki

4th place: Nobutada Saji
He was Chairman of Suntory Holdings and led the company as President until 2014. With assets of over 1 trillion yen, we have the highest assets as a business operator in charge of beverages. Due to the stability of Suntory, it is possible that assets will continue to grow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5th place: Hiroshi Mikitani
Needless to say, he is the CEO of Rakuten. As Rakuten is expanding its business, there is a good chance that it will continue to increase its assets. Currently, we have about 600 billion yen in assets, and we do not own many assets compared to the top. However, business development is intensifying, and there is room for further asset formation in various fields.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6th place: Mr. Yasumitsu Shigeta
He is the chairman of Hikari Tsushin and is a person who has contributed widely to business expansion as the previous president. It is said that it owns about 600 billion yen in assets, and considering the scale of its business, it has quite a large amount of assets. He is still active in many fields as chairman.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7th place: Keiichiro Takahara
As the founder of Unicharm, he has been active in a wide range of businesses. Although he died in 2018, the assets left at that time amounted to more than 500 billion yen, and he is ranked in the ranking of the leaders in 2019. Currently, the eldest son is in charge of the president of Unicharm.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8th place: Akira Mori
He was active as the founder of Mori Building and formed many assets. Currently he remains in the company as chairman. Although the assets gained from the real estate-related business are quite large, the assets are less than when the name was listed in the chief ranking 10 years ago.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9th place: Mr. Shigenobu Nagamori
He is active as the founder of Nidec and has formed many assets. Although it was ranked high in 2018, the ranking has dropped due to the reduction of assets. My son is active as president of another company.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10th place: Hideyuki Busujima
I am the CEO of a pachinko maker, Sankyo. This asset is a continuation of what the father formed and is effectively the parent's asset. His father, Kunio Busujima, the founder, made Sankyo the largest pachinko maker in Japan in his first generation, and is still in charge of developing a wide range of pachinko machines.

Japan's richest ranking summary
Many of the top-class people in Japan are the founders of companies that have grown into large companies . Although he is a first-class manager, he has a lot of assets. Having a lot of assets is partly to mitigate future risks, but it may also be due to the fact that various things are capitalized with the amount of money earned.

There is a good chance that the top ranks will change in the future, and of course there are companies that will grow in the future. The ranking is expected to change year by year, but the impact of the new coronavirus is expected to have a considerable impact on assets, so it will be interesting to see how the ranking will change next year.
