Japanese and Taiwan transistors are commonly marked this way; prepend 2S
to the part number and try looking that up.  I.e., 2SC2335, etc.

It's often the case that you need to know what kind of component the
device is before you can look it up properly; I've seen a transistor, a
battery, and a light bulb with the same part number.
