List of Terms in Japanese and English

We aim to standardize and improve the quality of English disclosure documents and reduce the burden of creating them for listed companies by providing lists of terms in Japanese and English as well as links to related websites. We hope these will be useful reference materials for listed companies when creating English disclosure documents.
