The prevalence of salarymen in Japanese society has given birth to many depictions by the media and various cartoons. The following are stereotypical images of the salaryman:

* Lifestyle revolves entirely around work at the office.
* Works over-time on a daily basis.
* Diligent but unoriginal.
* Thoroughly obedient to orders from the higher levels of the company.
* Feels a strong emotional bond with co-workers.
* Drinking, golf, and mahjong are the three main social activities that provide stimulation outside of work.
* Lack of initiative and competitiveness.
* Wears a suit, necktie, and dress shoes to work every day without fail.
* Late night karaoke.

The Japanese remarked. "Mmmm, Honda! Made in Japan, very powerful. Very fast!"

Some distance later, a white executive sedan whoosh pass along side the cab a high cruising speed. "Ahhh, Toyota! Also made in Japan, very fast. Also very good!" The cab-driver upon hearing the comments, looked through the rear mirror and was quite annoyed over the Japanese businessman's pride. At that moment again, another car came ramming fast, overtaking and cutting every car ahead of it. "Mmmm, Mitsubishi! Also Japan, also very good, very fast. Mmmm!"

It was not long after reaching the designated hotel, the cab halted in front of the lobby door, the cab-driver stared at the meter and proclaimed. "That will be US$39.40, sir!"

"Nan desu-ka! What?", said the businessman was astonished. "The airport verrinear to hotel.

"Er, sir, this meter is NEC, made in Japan, very good and 'very fast'.
