Translated EDINET Japan filings

For years, one of the largest barriers to analyzing Japan has been the filings themselves. EDINET disclosures contain detailed operational, financial, and governance information, but historically every filing was available only in Japanese, often in formats difficult to extract or compare.

This created friction for global teams:

• Partial or slow human translations
• Manual PDF extraction
• Limited searchability across Japanese text
• Difficulty benchmarking against U.S. or European peers
• Research workflows built around workarounds instead of direct insight

At the same time, Japan’s market environment has shifted. Ongoing reforms from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, rising expectations around governance and capital efficiency, increasing foreign inflows, and long-term commitments from investors such as Warren Buffett have made Japanese disclosures more important than ever.

Access, however, remained the limiting factor.
