Ishimoto

The ninth biggest earner in the Pacific Rim managed to increase its income from the region last year from $47 million to $53 million.

Ishimoto works almost entirely in its home region, so takings from the US and Europe added little to its overall fee income. The firm has a long pedigree — its founder Kikuji Ishimoto studied at the Bauhaus before establishing the firm in 1927.
