In this research the author looked into the management strategy and structure of Japanese banks during 1970 to 90s. There had been not so many empirical researches because of the difficulty to get various data. The author used interview and questionnaire to those managed Japanese Banks during this period and try to find empirical evidences how they managed Japanese banks and why there were so many banks failed.The unique aspects of Japanese bank management during late '70^<th> to 80^<th> under the drastic environmental changes are examined. Reference is made to the success and failure of Japanese style bank management, including "keep up with the Joneses (Yokonarabi)" Management Style. Survey and interviews among top managements of major Japanese Banks at that time were made. Although it seemed that every Japanese bank had followed similar strategies and that there had been no differentiation among them, by closely observing management behavior, culture, and leadership, differences were observed among them in their strategy implementations, which led to their success or failure. These discussions will lead to the theoretical implications about what type of management lead to success or failure.
