Leveraging our research culture of curiosity, determination and unconventional thinking, and embracing close collaboration between our R&D institutes in Asia, the U.S. and Europe, we strive for solutions that only Otsuka can deliver. Our R&D philosophy encourages individual researchers to take untraveled paths, pursuing fresh ideas within a collaborative, accommodating environment, and ultimately creating novel solutions for patients worldwide.

As a big venture company, we need to ask ourselves, is the product innovative? Can it be useful worldwide? Does it have the potential to create a new market? We believe that we can make our greatest contribution by discovering the needs that consumers are yet to become aware of, and by creating entirely new product categories.
