Japan Tobacco Inc.
Japan Tobacco Inc. is a registered legal entity registered in Japan under 4010401023000, 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 Minato Ward, Japan. 5 shareholders are on record for Japan Tobacco 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
5
Shareholders of Japan Tobacco Inc.
Five shareholders are currently on record for Japan Tobacco 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 Trust-iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF, holding 9.9% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Trust-iShares MSCI EAFE ETF at 5%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold 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 Japan Tobacco Inc.
The President & Ceo of Japan Tobacco Inc. on record is Masamichi Terabatake; 5 officers are shown here, filed with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site. Management authority at Japan Tobacco 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 Japan Tobacco Inc.
Japan Tobacco Inc. has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 26 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 11 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 26 subsidiaries span Japan, Canada, Switzerland, United Kingdom, South Africa, Singapore, and 5 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. Eight of the 26 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
