Public Documents for Japanese Stocks

[lennie_88]

Does Japan have a version of Sedar and Sedi? Specifically I am looking for prospectus and insider holding information. If anyone could help me out with this info it would be very appreciated.

There appears to be something similar to EDGAR/SEDAR/SEDI: 

It is http://info.edinet-fsa.go.jp/  You will need to be able to read Japanese to decipher the actual filings.  http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://info.edinet-fsa.go.jp/&sl=ja&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8

 

There is also some reference material here about someone searching for the same thing.

Maybe someone else here can offer better information.  If you have access to bloomberg terminal then I would start there.

Yeah you're gonna have to know Japanese. I've tried looking at Japanese stocks in the past, but they're not as 'foreigner-friendly' as other jurisdictions.
