How to become a shareholder
Please purchase shares through a securities company.

For details, please consult a nearby securities brokerage office, or a securities broker offering online transactions.
Our shares are traded in units of 100 shares each.
So you can become a shareholder the cost of the share price multiplied by 100 shares. However, when the purchase is made, a commission will be charged, which will vary from one securities company to another.
Caution: Since stock prices fluctuate, please be sure that you check on the most recent share price before making a purchase.
