【職能】
Private Investigator

 

CAPABILITY OVERVIEW // 業務内容​​​

Providing lawful, high-discretion intelligence gathering, physical reconnaissance, and risk mitigation operations across Japan. Mandates are structured for corporate leadership, legal counsel, institutional underwriters, and private principals requiring verified ground truth where physical reach, domestic access, or operational security is constrained.

​

All operations are designed and executed first-person as an independent sole practitioner. Mandates are never brokered out to subcontractors, regional agencies, or junior field staff—guaranteeing strict confidentiality, an unbroken evidentiary chain of custody, and direct communication from intake to final briefing. Intelligence gathering bypasses commercial data brokers, combining certified public records and lawful open-source intelligence (OSINT) with sustained physical reconnaissance to deliver court-admissible facts.

​

Core Operational Suites:

【企業・実態調査】 Asset & Entity Due Diligence

Pre-acquisition physical audits, phantom company detection, manufacturing and supply chain throughput audits, and remote commercial/residential property inspections.

​

【脅威分析・保安監査】 Vulnerability Assessment & Physical OPSEC

Facility intrusion modeling, transit and routine chokepoint mapping, counter-surveillance detection, and digital-to-physical exposure mitigation.

​

【民事法務・証拠収集】 Civil Litigation & Evidence Gathering

Court-admissible visual intelligence, non-compete breach tracking, asset concealment and judgment enforcement, and bad-faith contract dispute fact-finding.

​

【人物信用・損害調査】 Individual Integrity & Insurance Investigations

Executive track-record audits, nominee director detection, and independent scene/liability verification for complex casualty, alpine, and property damage insurance claims.

​

Operational Logistics & Bandwidth:

Deployment Reach: Based in Wassamu, Hokkaido. Autonomous field operations are deployed nationwide across Japan, including the Tokyo, Osaka, and regional prefectural corridors.

​

Operational Constraint: To ensure exhaustive preparation, absolute operational integrity, and first-person execution, investigative mandates are strictly limited to a select few clients annually.

STATUTORY INTEGRITY & REGISTRATION // 法令遵守・届出情報

Regulatory Standing:

Officially registered and certified by the Hokkaido Public Safety Commission (Asahikawa Area, Certificate No. 12210006). All investigative frameworks, reconnaissance protocols, and client intakes operate in strict compliance with the Japanese Detective Agency Business Law (探偵業の業務の適正化に関する法律).

​

To protect clients, preserve full evidentiary integrity, and maintain absolute compliance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), the following mandates are categorically refused:

 

  Domestic Violence & Stalking Facilitation:

Any mandate intended to locate, track, or monitor individuals protected under court orders, domestic violence prevention statutes, or stalking protection registries.

​

​  Routine Marital Infidelity Surveillance:

Inquiries driven purely by emotional domestic disputes, spousal tailing, or interpersonal entrapment. (Investigative scopes are restricted strictly to commercial, legal, casualty, and pre-commitment civil due diligence.)

​​

​  Discriminatory Inquiries:

Any investigation intended to establish or facilitate discrimination based on race, nationality, creed, lineage, or social status.

​​​

  Unlawful Evasion & Bad-Faith Tracking:

Locating individuals to assist extrajudicial debt intimidation, harassment, or the bypass of legitimate court processes.

​​

  Statutory Violations:

Any operation requiring unauthorized facility intrusion, wiretapping, computer compromise, or breaches of public order and civil statutes.

【企業・実態調査】 // ASSET & ENTITY DUE DILIGENCE

The Vulnerability:
Capital commitments, partnership agreements, and remote acquisitions carry severe exposure when decisions rely on digital representations, self-reported metrics, or third-party documentation. When decision-makers cannot physically stand on site—due to geographic distance, limited reach, or operational friction—a critical blind spot forms. Desk audits and public records routinely fail to detect phantom operations, concealed asset decay, supply chain bottlenecks, and deliberate misrepresentation.

The Methodology:
Desk intelligence sets the perimeter; sustained physical presence delivers the ground truth. I utilize certified public registry records and rigorous open-source intelligence (OSINT) purely as the initial targeting vector, deliberately bypassing commercial third-party data brokers to ensure uncompromised data integrity and strict statutory compliance under Japanese privacy laws (APPI).

The definitive value of this service is autonomous, multi-day field reconnaissance. Operating strictly as a solo practitioner, I do not outsource to junior operatives or rely on superficial drive-by checks. I conduct sustained, multi-day on-site surveillance across operational shifts to verify whether targets physically exist, operate at reported capacity, and maintain the infrastructure they claim.


Case Applications:
// Phantom Entity Detection: Verifying whether a registered corporate entity, counterparty, or debtor maintains an active, physical operation and genuine staff, or exists merely as a paper shell.

// Supply Chain & Manufacturing Audits: Directly observing factory operations, loading-dock freight tempo, shifts, and equipment utilization to confirm genuine production capacity before entering procurement agreements.

// Pre-M&A Physical Audits: Conducting independent physical audits of commercial facilities, inventory reserves, and operational throughput to verify the true condition of assets prior to acquisition.

// Investment Fraud Verification: Documenting discrepancies between an entity’s representations to investors or lenders and their verifiable day-to-day physical footprint.

// Remote Real Estate Audits (Commercial / Residential): Executing boots-on-the-ground site and neighborhood assessments to identify structural hazards, occupancy status, local access challenges, or adjacent liabilities prior to purchase.

// Competitor & Franchise Audits: Lawfully documenting competitor shipping frequency and facility scale, or verifying whether local franchisees are adhering to mandated national or global brand and operational standards.

// Heavy Machinery Verification: Locating, serial-matching, and physically assessing the condition of commercial, industrial, or agricultural machinery targeted for acquisition, lien settlement, or export.


Retainers & Phased Structure:
・ Phase 1: Intelligence Design & Feasibility Retainer (80,000円 Flat Fee)
Includes corporate and real property registry extraction, satellite and digital footprint analysis, operational targeting, and a formal Go/No-Go Feasibility Brief. If the target is an irrecoverable phantom or the engagement is legally non-viable, operations terminate here to preserve client capital.

・ Phase 2: Autonomous Field Deployment (75,000円 per Operational Day)
Executed only upon client authorization of the Phase 1 brief. Travel and lodging logistics outside Hokkaido are estimated upfront, capped in writing, and billed strictly at cost with zero markup.
