At Otsuka, we defy limitation, so that others can too, an attribute that reflects its Japanese heritage. Sozosei, meaning “creativity”, gives Otsuka people permission to do what's never been done and can only be done by Otsuka. Every day is a new chance to invent and to create so that we can provide answers to medical needs that have yet to be addressed.

Another Japanese tenet, Jissho-Shugi, means “earning responsibility by proving that you can deliver results consistently. Prove what you can do with small responsibilities and then move on to bigger responsibilities.
