Entry-level in Tokyo

I was wondering if anyone knew whether it is realistic to be hired at a BB and work in Tokyo as an analyst.

I would be going in with fluent/literate Japanese so language would be TOO big of an issue, however I'm not a native speaker.

If this is not realistic, are there other sectors in finance (i.e. trading/sales, research, etc.) where a post in Japan after college could happen? Thanks for the advice.

Look into the Japanese banks and try to arrange interviews with them. The transferability of the BB name, however, will probably be better if you intend to come back to the U.S., however I cannot verify this.
