Abstract: Abstract Banks in Japan played an important role in the so-called indirect financing system which implies that banks collect funds from individual investors as a form of deposits and lend them to non-financial firms. Banks, in particular main banks, have paid special attention to monitoring the performance of their borrowers, and have acted as an important stakeholder in the Japanese corporate finance system. Banks, however, have not been monitored adequately by public administration, namely the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and/or the Bank of Japan (BOJ). Although the MOF was a regulator to private banks, it has not made sufficient effort to administrate and monitor them.
