China, in turn, is expected to see soaring growth in its mobile sector.

But Japanese mobile phone makers' share of the Chinese market is only a few percent, taking a back seat to European counterparts such as Finland's Nokia, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily.

China had 334.82 million cell phone users as of the end of 2004, representing 25.9 percent of its population.

China is Japan's biggest commercial partner, with Japanese firms drawn to the country's vast labor pool and growing consumer market despite frequent political tension between the nations, largely over wartime memories.
