Yes you would need people in Japan, including native Japanese to take care of the administrative side where you need to be able to read/write Japanese and UK/Aussie/NZ/Canadian/US person in Japan with decent Japanese verbal skills to provide good communication with here.

Probably the best bet would be to find a company in Japan which only exports to Oz/NZ/Africa now but is looking to expand that to the UK and is looking for a business partner.

But be warned, there's a lot of people doing this already and competition is increasing, so serious research would be needed to see if a viable proposition for a new entrant.

Further to what he said: forget it, you dont have a clue, nor a hope. Added to that, many Subarus are worth more in Japan than in England now.
