I, for one, anticipate Wikimedia Japan to happen, although I expect that we have a long way to get to the establishment.
Several long-time Wikimedians are interested in a Wikimedia chapter in Japan to my knowledge. However, we feel we'd better to start by demonstrating what outreach activities can bring to the online community, which has been already successful to a good extent with a quite modest level of offline activities. For a starter, we are starting preparation for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 (next year).
Lack of manpower and legal concerns are recognized obstacles for years, too.
Perhaps it could be an inspiring material if we can collect some of the best success stories from neighboring Asian Wikimedia chapters regarding academic outreach, Wiki-training sessions, and the likes. Do we already have one?

Good to know that Tokyo Wikimedians is now an official group! Keep us updated of the activities, and keep ChapCom notified too :) Deryck

I hear that the Thai Chapter will be setting up soon, I like to
personally
visit Thailand and meet the community there. To our Thai Wikimedians, do let us know about your chapter development.
