The situation in Japan is that all individualistic thought is progressively destroyed in the early years at school. When kids are thought not to ask any question or to challenge the professor, it is unlikely you will end up with an environment where entrepreneurs will flourish and thrive. The society in Japan is also very effective in making sure everyone fits the same mold.
This being said, there is still fascination for entrepreneurs in Japan. There is one TV program I watch every week, called "Canbria Kyuden" (Palace Cambria) discussing exclusively stories of Japanese entrepreneurs based on new market insights. They review large and small corporations alike and this is a very famous program here in Japan. It is probably "edgy" in a way, but I guess the interest/public is there as well.
