# RegBase — Japan Corporate Registry Daily Diff · Free Sample (2026-11-06)

Japan's National Tax Agency (国税庁) publishes the national corporate registry as
open data: every registered company's corporate number (法人番号), name,
entity type and address. What it does not publish in a usable shape is *what
changed today*. **RegBase** cuts the registry's daily diff — the registrations
that were created, changed, or removed on a single day — into a clean,
documented, verifiable package.

This dataset is the **free sample** of that work: the first 100 records of the
2026-11-06 registry diff, plus the full day's census summary.

## What happened on 2026-11-06

The complete diff for the 2026-11-06 update contained **2,617 records**:

| Change class | Count |
|---|---|
| New registrations | 1,404 |
| Changed registrations | 895 |
| Closed registrations | 298 |
| Revived registrations | 20 |
| **Total** | **2,617** |

New registrations by prefecture (top 3): Tokyo 370, Osaka 128, Kanagawa 95.
By municipality (top 3): Minato City, Tokyo 65; Chuo City, Tokyo 40;
Chiyoda City, Tokyo 32. Cross-checked against a 3,808-company listed-company
master, 6 of the day's records belonged to listed companies — all of them
"changed". Full top-10 tables and the complete census are in `data/`.

## Files

## What this data is good for

- Building or refreshing a Japan B2B sales list
- Catching newly incorporated companies on the day they register
- Market and competitor research on Japanese companies
- A first-pass check of a counterparty's registered details

## Limitations — please read

- **One day only.** This sample covers the 2026-11-06 update. A single day
  shows what happened that day; it cannot show trends.
- The counts are the records that **changed that day**, not the total number
  of companies in Japan.
- "Closed" means the registry record was closed that day. It is **not**
  a count of all business closures in Japan.
- The registry has **no industry/sector column**. Records cannot be filtered
  by industry.
- Record accuracy follows the source publication (National Tax Agency).
