There were other foreigners at my company, the honsha, and other Hitachi group companies who were sponsored. Since there is so much internal business within the group, you get a chance to meet a lot of similarly situated people. There are over 1,000 companies in the Hitachi group, so I wonder how much evidence you have to extrapolate from. I think it's safe to say that no individual managers ever sponsored anyone at Hitachi or any other company in Japan. That's ridiculous. The paperwork is not a deterent to companies of the size of the Hitachi group. There is a somu-bu in every company that just takes care of it. Believe me, if you work in the somu-bu, something like this is an enjoyable change of pace from the boring stuff they usually do. And if the company doesn't want to do it themselves, they can hire from a personnel agency that will be the sponsor. In fact, there are even such long-term employment personnel companies within the Hitachi group itself who handle foreign employees for other Hitachi group companies. I expect that most large companies with a need for foreign expertise are like Hitachi. The first thing you need to do in most cases is get to Japan one way or the other, and then apply to Japanese companies from within Japan. This is easy for Canadians and Australians, who can take a working holiday here. For Americans, a stint working for an English conversation company may be the easiest way, although I'd recommend not associating with your fellow teachers in your off hours, since in my experience many are embittered and have bad attitudes that can poison your thinking. Hang out with Japnaese and learn about them first hand.
