Young people are increasingly playing a key role in Internet-related ventures amid the information-technology revolution in Japan.
Yu Jie, a 26-year-old Chinese graduate student at Waseda University, is working as an intern producing programs for the Internet at a venture business tied up with a Tokyo television station.
"This is the job I always wanted to do. A venture business gives you the opportunity to obtain knowledge and experience that would otherwise take several years to get at a large company," Yu said.
