<<Were that many individual Japanese ever into stocks?>> Up front, i simply don't know. I do know they went into a heavy hoarding status, and also "got into" frugality; even had or still have frugality clubs.
The figures i saw last year placed the average Japanese assets over 100k (much i gather hidden under the proverbial bed.)
Will need research and get the degree of their participation as the bubble expanded.

imo it will be worse in the US than in japan for the simple reason that japanese citizenry had actual savings. "we" have none. no cushion, no way to dampen the oscillations.

it's going to be a rough decade ahead...
