ZAIBATSU: Do mesmo modo como se deu a industrialização em alguns países da Europa e nos Estados Unidos, a expansão fabril do Japão, que tomou vulto entre 1870 e 1914, foi acompanhada de enorme concentração econômica e de renda. Os capitais reuniram-se em torno de alguns conglomerados nipônicos, ditos zaibatsus, tidos como estratégicos ao desenvolvimento, tais como bancos, exploração mineral, indústria bélica, têxteis e comércio exterior. Entretanto, ao contrário dos conhecidos atritos entre empresas macro-econômicas e o governo que ocorreram nos Estados Unidos, especialmente entre os anos de 1880 e 1920, houve uma integração quase que total entre os zaibatsus (cliques financeiras) e o governo imperial em Tóquio.

Família Zaibatsu
A família Zaibatsu é uma das maiores famílias da conhecida Yakuza(máfia japonesa). A família Zaibatsu, hoje liderada por Demy Zaibatsu e por seu primo Dinniz Zaibatsu, tem, atualmente, negócios em Portugal, nomeadamente em Amarante e em Marco de Canaveses, juntamente com a família Lucciani.
