About the HAYABUSA Plan
The "HAYABUSA" plan was named after the Japanese asteroid probe, the Hayabusa, and embodies the spirit of Eisai employees who aim to overcome whatever challenges they may face to achieve the objectives of a given plan, in the same way that the asteroid probe overcame major crises such as engine trouble and communication blackouts and returned safely to Earth after traveling over six billion km in seven years.
