Yahoo Japan is now completely separate from Yahoo US. Yahoo Japan was originally 33% owned by the Sunnyvale Yahoo but when Yahoo US was sold, Softbank/Yahoo Japan bought back its shareholdings from the US Yahoo.



Yahoo Japan was paying fees to Yahoo US for use of the brand name, but they bought the rights outright recently I think.
