┌─ generated from funding, org, model, compute, and overlap signals ─────────────────────────────── ┐
Japan sits inside Asia, but still carries 2.2% of its AI funding signal.
Asia's biggest carrier is Moonshot AI: $3.9B (13.1% of tracked side funding). Japan's biggest carrier is Sakana AI: $479M (71.7% of tracked side funding).
The org chart switches to a carrier board because a treemap would exaggerate sparse or heavily skewed data.
Japan is included in Asia; world-share dots and funding totals are shown as separate reference points, not additive market share.
NOINDEX: KEEP USEFUL, AVOID THIN SERP SPAM CANONICAL /vs/asia-vs-jp/
note — Asia runs 44× more AI capital than Japan. Whether that translates to frontier compute is what the next chart shows.
