Personally, I find U.S.A. and Japanese culture to be closer to each other in many ways than either are to for instance Dutch culture.
This was also notable in the Japanese strip S.E. — Software Engineer, which took place at a programming firm, but all the staff was in casual clothes, rather than suits, so this might be similar in Japan.
Finance, in particular, is known for it's devotion to a certain manner of style over substance.
Indeed, I learned well that the man who says “the west” very frequently just means “the U.S.A.”, for whatever reason he often seems to exagerate the differences with the exotic yellowman across the Pacific, and underestimate the differences with the Beigeman across the Atlanic.

This is only so in technology based companies though, it's very much a matter of dress altogether. You shall also note that for instance Steve Jobs or Linus Torvalds do not give their keynotes in a suit, but in casual clothes, as is common of technology-based companies, as they in general hire smart men who make smart decisions.
