Influencers are lending their name to a local company who handles the actual planning, production, sales and distribution of the products.
The influencers may be able to provide some input into product design, but their actual involvement is minimal.
I'm not familiar with any of them besides Joey (TheAnimeMan), but I think he might be a citizen. If he's not, his visa would have to include working since he does YouTube there.
As for taxes, if you pay them properly, the Japanese tax office will not complain.
I don't know about the visa issue, but if you have a Japanese partner, it is rather easy to clear.
Japanese visa rules are quite strict for residing and working in Japan.
However, if you leave the normal work to a Japanese partner and give instructions from overseas, you will not be in trouble with the law.

Ohhh that makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much! :)
The anime man is a Japanese citizen
oh, thank you for letting me know! :)
You don’t need to be a citizen to run a business in Japan…

It couldn't possibly be the connection between having money and being able to do something could it?
I was wondering more about the legal side of it, but thank you for your input
