Our Unique Culture

There are 2 core principles, based on our Japanese heritage, by which all Otsuka-people have lived for nearly a century. Today, they continue to serve as the foundation of our culture, embodying who we are and how we will achieve our goals.

jissho

(JIS-SHOH) Actualization

Achievement, completion, and the discovery of truth

Otsuka-people are encouraged to push themselves far beyond expectations. To dream the impossible and make it a reality. By living the principles of jissho, individuals and teams can achieve unprecedented outcomes that ultimately lead to greater responsibility.

sozosei

(SOH-ZOH-SAY) Creativity

Pursuing what only Otsuka is capable of conceiving and achieving

Sozosei 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.

Who We Are

Curious

We live to learn and discover. That’s why we never stop asking questions: Why? How? What if? Our inquisitive nature keeps us searching for the right answers, not just the obvious ones.

Courageous

We dare to do what others will not. We know it is the only way we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. We will face adversity, but we will not let it keep us from doing what’s right.

Distinctive

We are authentic and stay true to ourselves, without artifice or urge to imitate. We commit ourselves to the development of products and services that only Otsuka could conceive and make a reality.

What We Believe In

Perseverance

We persist to do what’s right and what matters.

Unconventional thinking

We live to create and discover a better way.

Humility

We unite to serve the needs of others before our own.
