These days the innovation has achieved big roles in economic growth in individual corporations and countries, and roles of innovator as a main player have been studied, but roles of supporters to them such as mentors, sponsors, angels or patrons are not so attracted our attentions. The purpose of this study is to examine the positive role of mentor in innovation process through case study of 13 medium-sized companies and famous historical case of HONDA, SONY or KYOCERA in Japan. In this paper, I deal with innovation mentor (IM) like a catalyst or enzyme in chemical and bio process, for innovation of each corporations. And in this study, innovation covers not only technological one but also managerial and operational one. Functions of IM are characterized in six points as technology, human resources, marketing, information and management, financing, physical facility, and those effectiveness of IM are depend on characteristics of industries such as food processing, Pharmaceuticals, Fine chemicals, precisions and electronics industries in this case study. We found that IM has big roles in growth of individual companies for the six reasons as follows: 1) Mentor, individual person, group or organizations such as companies, research organizations and academy or university, has achieved not only technical supports but also operational supports such as marketing and introducing or accessing big customers. 2) Big companies such as NHK, NTT and other leading companies sometimes played important parts in assisting technical matters and purchasers and investors. 3) Several functions of mentoring supports such as financial support or physical (facilities or equipments and machines) are not so effective which has been considered generally. 4) Managerial support is not so importance in start-up and an early stage, but in late stage or jumping stage, are playing very importance factor in personnel and management. 5) Some role of Mentoring support is not only once but also continuously offered in Hi-Tech fields such as electronics, pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. 6) For Medium-sized corporations, all function of mentoring support are supplied or procured by outside persons, companies or organizations.
