Canon Inc.
Canon Inc. is a registered legal entity registered in Japan under 6010801003186, and its current status with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site is active. The company was incorporated on 5 October 2015 and lists its registered address as Ota Ward, Japan. 3 shareholders are on record for Canon Inc., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders

Shareholders of Canon Inc.
Three shareholders are currently on record for Canon Inc., reflecting the kabunushi meibo (shareholder register) maintained under Articles 121-122 of the Companies Act rather than a public filing. The largest of these is iShares, Inc.-iShares MSCI Japan ETF, holding 6.7% — the largest recorded stake — followed by J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust-JPMorgan BetaBuilders Japan ETF at 6.2%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
Officers
5
Directors and officers of Canon Inc.
The Chairman & Ceo of Canon Inc. on record is Fujio Mitarai; 5 officers are shown here, filed with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site. Management authority at Canon Inc. sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Data availability
The register reports 12 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Group Structure
Group structure of Canon Inc.

Those 68 subsidiaries span Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, France, China, Canada, and 16 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 15 of the 68 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
