Company Background/Culture

Otsuka is a global healthcare company with the corporate philosophy: "Otsuka people creating new products for better health worldwide." Otsuka researches, develops, manufactures, and markets innovative products, with a focus on pharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases and nutraceutical products for maintenance of everyday health.

Culture

As a Company with a rich 100-year history, Otsuka is proud of its distinct culture that provides a competitive advantage. At Otsuka, we defy limitation, so that others can too, an attribute that reflects its Japanese heritage. Sozosei, meaning "creativity", gives Otsuka people permission to do what's never been done and can only be done by Otsuka. Every day is a new chance to invent and to create so that we can provide answers to medical needs that have yet to be addressed.

Another Japanese tenet, Jissho-Shugi, means "earning responsibility by proving that you can deliver results consistently. Prove what you can do with small responsibilities and then move on to bigger responsibilities." Otsuka people are encouraged to push themselves far beyond expectations. To dream the impossible and make it a reality. By living the principles of Jissho (self-actualization), individuals and teams can achieve unprecedented outcomes that ultimately lead to greater responsibility.
