Search the Japanese corporate knowledge base with raw keyword, fuzzy, semantic, or hybrid retrieval — the flexible fallback for open-ended questions the domain tools do not cover. Runs fully offline and returns ranked text records (company registry fields, EDINET financials, major shareholders, gBizINFO certifications, and industry benchmarks) ordered by relevance; this Free edition indexes 192 blue-chip companies. The 'vector' and 'hybrid' methods trigger a one-time ~220MB embedding-model download on first use, while 'bm25' and 'trigram' always work offline. Prefer the domain tools (edinet_financials_usgaap, japan_corporate_registry, japan_shareholders, japan_industry_benchmarks, japan_company_search) for structured questions; use this for cross-cutting or exploratory queries. 'bm25' suits exact keywords, 'trigram' suits codes and identifiers, 'vector' suits paraphrases, and 'hybrid' fuses all rankers.

Retrieve official EDINET statutory financials (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) and executive compensation for a Japanese listed company, with accounting concepts normalized across J-GAAP, US GAAP, and IFRS. Runs fully offline on the local machine — no data leaves the host; the requested metric is internally mapped to its Japanese accounting term before searching, and results return as ranked records (company name, 13-digit corporate number, fiscal year, and the requested line items with values in ¥ millions) sourced from 有価証券報告書 XBRL filings. This Free edition indexes 192 blue-chip companies, so a company outside that set returns the closest available matches rather than an error. Use this for a specific financial figure or statement of a named company (e.g. 'Toyota operating income 2023', '経常利益 in US GAAP'); use japan_company_search to discover an entity first, or japan_corporate_registry for identity and certification data. Identify the company by 13-digit corporate number or 4-digit securities code for the most reliable match; Japanese names resolve better than English.

Look up the official identity of a Japanese company: its 13-digit National Tax Agency corporate number, registered headquarters address, legal status, and METI gBizINFO certifications, subsidies, and commendations. Runs fully offline and returns the corporate number, registered name and address, status, and any gBizINFO records found, sourced from 法人番号公表サイト and gBizINFO; this Free edition covers 192 blue-chip companies, so out-of-set lookups return the nearest matches. Use this for KYB and entity-verification questions and for 'who or where is this company' lookups; use edinet_financials_usgaap for financial figures, or japan_company_search for fuzzy discovery. A 13-digit corporate number or an exact Japanese name gives the most reliable match.

Retrieve the major shareholders and ownership structure of a Japanese listed company from its EDINET 有価証券報告書 filing. Runs fully offline and returns a ranked list of top shareholders (name, shares held, ownership percentage) together with total shares outstanding, taken from the 大株主 section of the XBRL filing; this Free edition covers 192 blue-chip companies, so out-of-set companies return the nearest matches. Use this for ownership, cap-table, and cross-holding questions; use edinet_financials_usgaap for income-statement or balance-sheet figures, or japan_company_search to discover an entity first. Identify the company by 13-digit corporate number or 4-digit securities code for the most reliable match.

Retrieve sector-level financial benchmarks for Japanese industries from the 財務省 法人企業統計調査 (Ministry of Finance Corporate Enterprise Statistics Survey): operating margin (売上高営業利益率), ordinary margin (売上高経常利益率), equity ratio (自己資本比率), and ROE (自己資本ROE) by industry and data year. Runs fully offline and returns the benchmark row(s) for the requested industry with the available metrics and their data year, sourced from the Ministry of Finance survey via e-Stat; this Free edition includes a subset of industries. Use this to benchmark a company's profitability against its sector — pair it with edinet_financials_usgaap to pull the company's own figures, then compare. Provide the industry name, preferably the Japanese 業種 label (e.g. '輸送用機械器具製造業', '純粋持株会社').

Search across Japanese corporate registries and listed-company filings by name, securities code, corporate number, or free-text intent — the entry point when the target company is unknown or ambiguous. Runs fully offline and returns ranked candidate companies (name, corporate number, securities code, and a snippet) ordered by relevance; this Free edition indexes 192 blue-chip companies. The 'vector' and 'hybrid' methods trigger a one-time ~220MB embedding-model download on first use, while 'bm25' and 'trigram' always work offline. Use this to resolve an entity first (e.g. '半導体メーカー 東京', 'Tokyo semiconductor maker'), then call edinet_financials_usgaap, japan_shareholders, or japan_corporate_registry for details; 'trigram' suits codes and identifiers, 'hybrid' suits natural-language queries.
