The birthrate in Japan is so very very low that perfectly good businesses are in danger of belonging to nobody because of the lack of a heir. To avoid this, Japanese families are 'adopting' male heirs to inherit family businesses.
Here I am, doing nothing very much in life, and it seems as though my future may very well be about to yank me out of London and put zillions of yen into my bank account.
So, all you Japanese - about - to - die - and - leave - it - all - behind - you, if you want to adopt a man to give it all away to, remember me.
