Thunder x Nakama.Nakama is superior.Western researchers label Japanese society as being a collectivistic culture which requires
individuals to fit into groups where they define themselves by referring to their relations with
others (Gudykunst & Nishida, 1994). Japan is further defined as a horizontal, collectivistic
culture since its members are not expected to stand out (Triandis, 1995, as cited in
Gudykunst, Ting-Toomey, & Nishida, 1996). Nakane (1967, 1973) has called Japan a vertical
society (tateshakai) with one’s main group organized along the leader-follower hierarchy, in a
clear rank order. Yoneyama (1986) acknowledges that workplace nakama follow a strict
hierarchy but that where nakama pursue sports, games, or hobbies, a sense of equality exists.
Within these social groups, a leader-follower relationship comes about but it is based mainly
on popularity rather than on individual skills (Yoneyama, 1986).
