TOKYO -- Goldman Sachs has picked seven Japanese companies that have played a significant role in lifting the equities market here to its recent heights, dubbing them for now as the "Seven Samurai" in a reference to the "Magnificent Seven" of American technology giants.
The group -- consisting of Screen Holdings, Advantest, Disco, Tokyo Electron, Toyota Motor, Subaru and Mitsubishi Corp. -- listed in a note Sunday is named after the classic Akira Kurosawa film of that title, remade in the U.S. as "The Magnificent Seven."
