From Forbes:
"Honorary chairman of Ito-Yokado, one of Japan's biggest retailers, founded by his family in a seedy area of bombed-out Tokyo after World War II. Last September the superstore chain combined its three different retail chains into one new group, Seven & I Holdings, in part to help defend against takeovers. The $57 billion (combined market cap) group, which now ranks as Asia's largest retail chain, includes 11,103 Seven-Eleven Japans, 582 Denny's Japan and 181 Ito-Yokado supermarkets. The company, which is expanding its convenience store chain into China, also owns 7-Eleven in the U.S."
