Mari Matsunaga, the mother of iMode (if Natsuno-san is the father - but what then is Enoki-san? the midwife?), wrote a book which came about a year ago about how she fought and thought when she put together the iMode service. Although being Japanese, she is unfailingly polite. It is a really interesting book, because it shows how very Japanese the thinking behind the service is (and possibly how hard it will be to translate to other countries). Also, it must be one of the first (documented) skunkworks in Japan. It is published by a Singapore comic book publisher (!), see http://www.chuangyi.com.sg/misc/i-mode.html.
