There are quite a few in Japan, too. But not at the rate there is in Thai, from what I can gather.

They are called "New Half" in Japan (if they get they get medically converted) and several are popular talents and a lot are hostesses or "mamas" at expensive drinking establishments.

However, you would probably not see a "new half" working at a bank or restaurant. The tend to only find work in some form of the entertainment industry.
