Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3599 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 320. The gain of the 2SC3599-C will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SC3599-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SC3599-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC3599-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3599 might only be marked "C3599".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3599 is the 2SA1405.You can replace the 2SC3599 with the 2SC3954.
