The Colonel Comes to Japan
1981 · Film · documentary · 28 min
Directed by John Nathan
It seems highly unlikely that Colonel Sanders ever thought that he would be selling his Kentucky Fried Chicken to the Japanese, but Kentucky Fried Chicken, Japan, Inc. is doing just that, and doing it successfully. The company, headed by an American director and staffed by the Japanese, has raised the business of fast-food retailing to an art. Here West meets East as the Japanese are shown how to prepare the product and the Americans are introduced to the fine art of Japanese business. –cte.uw.edu

There’s a good documentary from early 80s about this, The Colonel Comes To Japan. You can find it at your local library or (with dubious copyright status) your local YouTube.
The narrative in the documentary does not straightforwardly square with this article.
