This paper, the fifth in the Career design series, is subtitled "On recognition of autonomous individuality and on its advantages in the new ICT society of the new wave". It argues two issues. The first is an issue related to Japanese individuality discussed in "Happiness Hypothesis" written by Jonathan Haidt. Haidt would probably have considered submissive Japanese as an elephant. I argue that Japanese young people who would like to design their careers by themselves should be considered the elephant master who has a conscious and reasoning human mind. The other issue is related to innovation and entrepreneurship for Japanese young people. I argue that ICT has made progress so fast that we are entering a new dimension in terms of industrial organization, where innovation and economic growth are achieved not by the activities of large corporations and/or keiretsu but by the activities of autonomous independent individuals and/or their small organizations. I verify this hypothesis using Langlois's theory. I conclude that autonomous young people who design their careers by themselves have significant advantages over other young Japanese people.
