^^^^^^^^

What precisely were you trying to say here? "Zaibatsu" is the Japanese word
for "corporation". I take it from the context you were looking for some
sort of stress-related word, like "karoushi" (dying from overwork)?

Hmm...

And here I was, under the impression that Japanese men, commiting suicide
from work-related stress was known as the "Zaibatsu" effect. Was I wrong?
What's the correct name?

Well, "karoushi" is dying from overwork. I suppose you could say "karou
jisatsu" or something to be more specific about work driving one to suicide.
There may be a speicific term, but I doubt "the Zaibatsu Effect" has ever
been coined in the literature.
