How this service works
Japanese company KYB report in one call — company lookup + verification from a corporate number or company name. Returns the official 国税庁 registry record, lifecycle status, kana + romaji name readings, risk flags (closed registry, recent registration/changes), an English summary, and the dataset vintage. Use for counterparty due diligence, supplier onboarding, or invoice fraud checks — replaces 3-4 separate lookups.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the corporation's active/inactive status, the 13-digit corporate number, risk flags (if any), an English-language summary, official name readings in kana and romaji, the data freshness date, and the method used to resolve the lookup (by number or name search).
Example use cases
Vendor onboarding due diligence
“We're onboarding a new Japanese supplier called 株式会社山田製作所 based in Osaka. Can you look them up in the Japanese corporate registry and confirm they're actively registered, get their official corporate number, and flag anything unusual?”
KYB check by corporate number
“I have a corporate number for a Japanese company — 7000012050002 — can you pull their full registry record from the National Tax Agency and tell me their current status and any risk flags?”
Resolving ambiguous Japanese company name
“I need to find the official registry record for a company called 'Tokyu' in Tokyo — I'm not sure of the exact legal name. Can you do a fuzzy search in the Japanese corporate registry, filtering to Tokyo prefecture, and give me their corporate number and official name reading in romaji?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://houjin.agentic-jp.com/reportWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative KYB data on Japanese corporations sourced directly from the National Tax Agency's 5.78M-company registry. It is ideal for compliance workflows, vendor due diligence, and resolving Japanese company names to official records including kana/romaji readings — especially when you have either a corporate number or a Japanese/English trade name to search with. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, verified, official registry data with risk flagging.
Side effects
- Company not found in registry — no matching record for the given name or corporate number
- Ambiguous name match — multiple companies match the fuzzy name search, requiring additional prefecture/city filters
- Invalid corporate number format — number is not exactly 13 digits
- Missing required input — neither corporate_number nor name provided
- Network or payment failure — x402 USDC payment not processed correctly
