Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
The Kumagai family created a top international general contractor in Kumagai Gumi, but their good karma seems to be running out. The firm specializes in civil engineering projects such as roads, subways, tunnels, and dams. It also builds golf courses and industrial plants, and its skyscrapers include the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and the Melbourne Central building in Australia. The company, hurt by Japan's soft real estate market, has been bailed out by creditors, who have forgiven a massive Y430 in debt. Kumagai Gumi also plans to sell assets and lay-off employees; key management members have resigned, including founding-family member and Chairman Taichiro Kumagai.
