The evolution of Oracle Corp Japan: from its origins to enterprise software and cloud services in Japan

Oracle Corporation Japan was established on 15 October 1985 as the Japanese subsidiary of Oracle Corporation.

How Oracle Corp Japan developed

It grew alongside Japan’s adoption of relational databases and enterprise software, entered the over-the-counter market in 1999 and moved to the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s First Section in 2000. Its portfolio broadened from databases into applications, systems and cloud services.

Oracle Corp Japan in 2026

By 2026, Oracle Japan sold Oracle database, cloud, applications, infrastructure and support services to Japanese organisations while remaining part of the wider Oracle group.

The subsidiary’s long public-market history makes it unusual among country operations of multinational software companies and reflects the size and strategic importance of Japan’s enterprise IT market.
