Since they lost the war, JIS screws are a way for the Japanese to get a bit of revenge. A set of vessel JIS screwdrivers is $pendy, but JIS bits are available and are semi reasonably priced.
(edit) However, if you work on Japanese bikes a lot, you might as well bite the bullet...

(another edit) I firmly believe that design engineers and tool makers are in cahoots to force mechanics into buying new tools. Hey, conspiracy theories can be true.
