Prudential Financial disclosed that suspending new sales at Prudential Life in Japan, following an employee misconduct investigation, cost $235 million in the first half and could reduce full-year international profit by as much as $575 million, with every additional month of suspension adding $50 million to $60 million to the bill.
Toshin Holdings' latest fiscal year lasted just eight days after the Nagoya-based mobile-phone-and-golf-course group entered court-supervised corporate rehabilitation on May 8, 2026, the culmination of a subsidiary accounting scandal that produced an auditor's disclaimer of opinion, a Tokyo Stock Exchange delisting-risk designation and covenant breaches with its banks; the truncated period posted a ¥236.9 million net loss, and the rehabilitation plan submitted to the Tokyo District Court in September remains unapproved.

OTAKE Corporation's special investigation committee found that trades routed through a rival probably breach Japan's Antimonopoly Act, a conclusion that forces a ¥477 million cut to reported sales for the year to May 2026 while leaving ordinary profit unchanged, with recurrence-prevention measures still to come.
A former finance chief at Sanyo Trading's US subsidiary, Sanyo Corporation of America, is suspected of diverting about $3.9 million (roughly ¥609mn) between June and September, caught only when staff matched bank records against the books, and the parent has now empanelled outside lawyers while the hit to earnings and any recovery remain undetermined.
Advance Create's shareholders' equity turned negative by ¥276mn and the Osaka insurance agency now expects a ¥391mn net loss for the year to September, reversing a previously guided ¥450mn profit, after a third-party investigation into improper accounting at an advertising subsidiary forced write-downs and a restatement of prior results.
Kansai Electric powered down the Mihama Unit 3 reactor after workers found water dripping at three drops a second from a feedwater-heater valve fitting they could not isolate without a shutdown, and the utility has not set a restart date or identified a cause.
The Financial Services Agency has issued a formal surcharge payment order against I-ne CO.,LTD. over its securities report for the year ended December 2022, with a ¥6mn payment due November 17 that the company has already recorded as a special loss and says will carry no other earnings impact.

Chubu Electric has withdrawn its restart applications for two Hamaoka reactors after its internal whistleblowing system failed to catch irregularities in seismic ground-motion data, and Japan's industry minister says he will weigh a maximum-strictness regulatory response once the utility answers a formal information order tied to the Electricity Business Act.
Ureru Net Advertising Group's shareholders' equity turned negative at the end of its year to July 2026 after a net loss that widened to ¥1.11bn, breaching the Tokyo Stock Exchange's minimum net-asset standard for Growth Market companies; the firm says a share exchange and share deliveries completed on August 10 already pushed net assets back into positive territory, though a formal compliance plan for the listing rule has yet to be published.
