Kikkoman Corporation
Kikkoman Corporation is a registered legal entity registered in Japan, and its current status with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site is active. Its registered address on file is Noda, Japan. 5 shareholders are on record for Kikkoman Corporation, 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.

Shareholders of Kikkoman Corporation
Five shareholders are currently on record for Kikkoman Corporation, 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 VANGUARD STAR FUNDS-Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, holding 28.6% — the largest recorded stake — followed by VANGUARD TAX-MANAGED FUNDS-Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund at 17.8%; 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.
