Investigations, recalls, restatements, lawsuits and late filings at Japanese companies.
Nissha's semiannual report for the six months to June 2026, originally due August 14, now must be filed by October 23 after regulatory approval, and its second-quarter earnings summary is tied to that same later deadline.
Takara Holdings pulled its August 7 earnings release after its auditor said it could not complete a quarterly review of Takara Bio USA's accounts, and the Kyoto group now expects to miss the standard 45-day disclosure deadline with no new date set.
An independent probe into Wel-Dish. Incorporated found that its former president paid only ¥5 a share, not the disclosed ¥140, for 235,000 shares, and later ordered a subordinate to destroy the paperwork before his own committee hearing.
An explosion killed seven people at AEON Mall Kumamoto just after evacuation from a magnitude-7 earthquake was completed, and AEON still won't estimate what shutting the 204-tenant mall will cost.
A ransomware attack in September that let an intruder roam Asahi Group Holdings' Japan network delayed the brewer's annual securities report by four months and forced a rare admission that its internal controls over financial reporting were not effective for the year to December 2025, even though auditors signed off on the underlying numbers.
Nichirei says personal information stored on some breached servers was exposed and is notifying those affected, while still withholding how the attack happened as it works with police and outside security specialists.
Nichirei confirmed a cyberattack on its servers and shut down group IT systems, halting refrigerated warehouse handling and frozen-food shipments while it checks whether customer data leaked.
A cyberattack that froze Asahi's Japan order and shipping systems in September 2025 cut annual operating profit 30.9% to ¥185.9bn and delayed the results so long that the brewer now needs a September 2026 shareholders' meeting just to report them.
The catch: prior-period corrections tied to lease-deposit estimates, plus accounting staff departures, left Nichiryoku unable to prove its financial-reporting controls were effective by March 31 despite a year of remediation.
Sales rose to ¥15.59bn in the year to March 2026, but ordinary income fell to ¥933.0mn as the manufacturer said its financial-reporting controls remained effective across all business locations.
Kaihan says Friday's shareholder meeting can still vote on a partial articles amendment, three director appointments and an accounting auditor, but it cannot present the year-end business report or financial statements at the scheduled session. The company expects going-concern uncertainty to lead to a disclaimer of opinion and says a later continued meeting will handle the accounts once audit procedures are complete.
The corrected materials still show ¥276.9bn of revenue, ¥50.2bn of operating profit and a ¥131 annual dividend for the year to March 2026. What changed line by line is not visible in this packet, so the real news is the correction itself.
