@McMahonFirebird @ZachWWMovies IIRC the idea of Lean, like so many other things in the production, was a misunderstanding between the Japanese and US sides. Language + culture barriers. There's a wonderful book "All the Emperor's Men" by Hiroshi Tasogawa that documents what happened. I can highly recommend it!
