The number of Japanese individual investors has reached a record high, and this trend may have been influenced by the stock god Warren Buffett.

Recently, the latest data released by the Japan Exchange Group showed that the number of individual shareholders in Japan surged by over 12% in the fiscal year 2024, reaching 83.6 million people, setting a record high. This reflects that, as the Japanese stock market brings investment opportunities, investment culture is becoming increasingly ingrained in Japanese society. Some analysts believe that, stimulated by Japan's tax-free small investment system, the trend of Japanese residents shifting their savings towards investments is growing. According to data released by the Japanese Financial Services Agency, as of the end of December 2024, the cumulative purchase amount of NISA increased by 50% compared to the previous year, reaching approximately 52 trillion Japanese yen.
