This Hugo theme is called japan-biz. When we looked around there didn't seem to exist any Hugo templates other than a blog designed for Japanese business websites. It is written from scratch, but inspired in spirit by the MicroCMS Japan business theme for nestJS : https://github.com/microcmsio/nextjs-simple-corporate-site-template .
Our team in Japan will maintain this to add features specific to Japanese market (SNS links appropriate to Japan, etc.) but these things are in the works. Please file an issue if you need specific features.
There is a particular style for Japanese "business" websites. Say what you like about Japanese UX ... the sites follow a particular design pattern. One feature often missing in Japanese websites is a proper implementation of localization for English.
Sometimes this will be done in earnest, however, it will usually mean a scaled down set of information, and not the entire site in English. Very frustrating to an English speaking audience. A second failing of localization to English is just relying on Google translate. While generally very accurate, it can fail to translate certain ideas that only exist in Japanese. This is where it helps to have a team that can easily go between two languages, and also understands the particulars of each market.
