# Japan Officers

> The board and executive roster of a Japanese-listed company and what it is paid, from the officer and remuneration sections of its EDINET annual report.

Japan Officers provides a Japanese-listed company's board and executive roster (役員の状況) and its officer pay (役員報酬), as disclosed in the annual securities report filed to EDINET. `kind=people` returns one row per officer; `kind=compensation` returns pay broken out by officer category.

## What you can use Japan officers for

See who sits on a Japanese board, their titles, ages and terms. Track how many shares each director holds from one year's report to the next. Compare fixed against performance-linked pay for directors, auditors and outside officers.

## Officers (`kind=people`, the default)

One row per officer: `officer_name`, `title` (役職名, in Japanese), `date_of_birth`, `term_of_office` as printed (often a pointer to a footnote such as `(注)６`), and `shares_held`, the officer's own holding in the company. `period_end` is the fiscal year of the report and `filed_on` its filing date. Rows come newest `period_end` first, largest holding first. `period_end` can be null on some reports; use `filed_on` to tell the years apart.

<Warning>
  `shares_held` is the closest thing Japan has to insider ownership, and it is an **annual snapshot**, not a transaction feed. Japan publishes no equivalent of a US Form 4: two years of snapshots give a net change across the year, never the trades inside it. For dated ownership moves, see [Japan Ownership](/international/japan-ownership) — a director's holding company that crosses 5% files there, with a trigger date.
</Warning>

## Compensation (`kind=compensation`)

Japan discloses pay **by officer category**, not by person. Each row is one category — `officer_category` such as `DirectorsMember`, `CorporateAuditorsMember` or `ExecutiveOfficersMember` — with `total_remuneration`, `fixed_remuneration`, `base_remuneration`, `performance_remuneration`, `bonus`, `non_monetary` and `n_officers`, the headcount the figure covers. Amounts are in yen. A column the filer did not tag is null. A per-person figure is disclosed only for the few officers paid ¥100 million or more.

## Japan officers coverage

The roster comes from the annual report, so it appears once a year and only for periods whose report is loaded. `kind=compensation` is sparser than `kind=people`: a filer with a single officer category reports one row. Every response carries a measured `coverage` block.

These results are not paged: `next_cursor` is always null. Use `period_end` to select one year and raise `limit` if a roster is long.
