For information on major shareholders and cross-shareholding, I strongly recommend the website https://www.buffett-code.com/

It's in Japanese, but the shareholder section translates perfectly if you use Chrome and the translate function!

This is an excellent compilation and summary of explanation and resources for researching Japanese companies. Another valuable source of information on corporate financial data is the Japanese government's official gazette, or the Kanpo. Many companies, even ones that aren't publicly traded like Studio Ghibli, submit bottom-line numbers about their financial performance to the gazette. These data are tracked by the Company Activities Total Research Institute on their website: https://catr.jp/ They won't get you in-depth numbers, but you get information on net income, retained earnings, and total assets.

Thank you!

I didn't know about the gazette, I will have a look. I was wondering were all those revenue numbers were coming from, and I guessed something like this existed, but hadn't been able to find it
