CEO: James Hiroshi Nakagawa, 44
When one of his friends was diagnosed with diabetes and placed on a restricted diet, Nakagawa was surprised to discover how difficult it was to obtain basic information about the calories in ordinary food. This sparked the idea of Lifewatcher, a health management service for people with so-called "lifestyle diseases." The service not only allows people to look up nutrition information via the Internet or their mobile phones, but also monitors users' conditions as they log in their blood sugar levels, calorie intake, exercise, and other variables.
