How English company names are sourced
Japanese companies are not legally required to register an English name. To minimize risk of false matches in sanctions screening or counterparty checks, every entity in RegBase shows its English name with an explicit source label:
Registered English name from gBizINFO (Japan's government corporate registry).
Manually verified from the company's IR materials, EDINET disclosure, or other authoritative sources.
Auto-romanized from the Japanese kana reading. Not an officially registered English name — use with caution.
No English name available. The original Japanese name is displayed.
Always cross-reference the Corporate Number (法人番号 — Japan's unique 13-digit entity identifier) when matching records.
Important — read before using these records
- English titles, summaries, and company names are provided for reference only. The authoritative record is the original Japanese source linked on each detail page.
- English summaries are machine-translated and may contain errors. Verify against the Japanese source before making any compliance, credit, or legal decision.
- RegBase aggregates public government disclosures and is not a credit-rating agency, sanctions list, or legal advisory service.
