How it's used
Beyond the literal sense of a mythical or biological giant, this term is frequently used metaphorically to describe dominant entities in business or sports. It carries a sense of overwhelming influence and scale, similar to how English speakers use the word titan. When referring to people in a professional context, it is often paired with terms like 業界 or 領域 to specify the field of their dominance.
