Opera has had a very minimal marketing presence in Japan and their share percentage reflects that. It is still limited almost exclusively to the tech crowd. Nobody else has heard of it.

The Opera mobile browser has done fairly well in Japan, not only on phones, but also hand-held games. That's about the only place I see it.

I'm with tedster when it comes to personal usage. Opera has been my default browser for many years now as it saves me time and makes my work easier. However, I do wish they had a more active developer community because the add-ons available pale in comparison to those available to the FireFox community.
