How English company names are sourced

Japanese companies are not legally required to register an English name. To minimize risk of false matches, RegBase does not translate or romanize company names for display. An English company name is shown only when an official or verified official-source record is available.

Official

Registered English name from gBizINFO (Japan's government corporate registry).

Verified official source

Verified against a recorded official company, EDINET, IR, or government source.

Japanese original

No official English-name source is recorded, so the original Japanese company 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 and summaries are provided for reference only. English company names are shown only when an official or verified official-source record exists. 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.
