And there are few more small (still big) Zaibatsu in Japan.
How powerful was (is) Zaibatsu?
One of the largest Zaibatsu in Japan Suzuki Shoten went out of business early 1900s. But this company left following companies.
Kobe Steel
Teijin
Shinko Dentetsu
Sapporo Beer
Showa Shell Oil
Mitsui Toatsu
Fuji Film
Shojitsu
Nippon Seifun
Nihon Kaiun
Taosyo Seimei
Daiwa Seimei
Those are few of the companies that Suzuki Shoten (privately held company) left behind when they close their door. This shows how much influence Zaibatsu have in Japanese economy.
At the end of World War II, zaibatsu became the target of Japanese reform and they were not longer allowed to operate using one Zaibatsu name. When Zaibatsu was no longer, the new name came up Keiretsu is the word used now days to show the preferred relationship of the companies.
