About Netflix

Netflix in Japan

In August 2020, Netflix surpassed 5 million subscribers in Japan, less than 5 years after Netflix became available for Japanese consumers in September 2015. Japan is a strategic market in Netflix's continued international growth. Since launching in the market in September 2015, our content library has doubled. In addition to a wide selection of Western entertainment content, we have continued to invest in Japanese content consisting of original films, series, anime, reality shows, and documentaries.

In 2021, Netflix will double down on our Japanese investment in order to continue our curation of a compelling content library made up of original and licensed titles across live-action and anime categories. This aggressive content investment by Netflix is industry-leading across the Subscription-Video-on-Demand (SVOD) and VOD segment.

We continue to grow our Tokyo office as we expand our functions across content creation, marketing, and business development.
