The JIS work for all Asian made products (pretty much everything in your house) and really lock into the heads compared with non-JIS tools. There has been a change to try to make one standard and there are some headache inducing articles on this so you may not have to buy stated JIS screwdrivers but I forgot the info and recommend reading up a little if you want to widen the list of JIS compatible tools. Well worth the investment for working on bicycles with their small, not so easy to see well and not always hardened fasteners.
