Jane Fong was one of the lucky few awarded a full Foreign Ministry scholarship to a master's program in international business at Sophia University in Tokyo — but she gave that up to become an entrepreneur in "Electric Town."
The 25-year-old Singaporean dropped the free ride within 10 months to start her own business in Akihabara, having fallen in love with animation during a 10-month stay in Japan as an exchange student at the University of Tokyo five years ago.
"Entrepreneurship is my destiny," Fong said.
