Japan does fine with IMINT (or GEOINT as it is called now) and SIGINT, but it has hesitated to get invoved in HUMINT activities. I understand that the PSIA has been pushing to send its people overseas and may be the only viable HUMINT service now. It's been trying to make up for its disastrous failure to pay attention to Aum Shinrikyo and to justify its existence in a society lacking internal threats.
