Claim
Satoru Matsuzaki (president)
Correction

This is outdated. Satoru Matsuzaki stopped being MUJI's president in 2021, and the company now lists Satoshi Shimizu as President & Representative Director.

Full reasoning

Ryohin Keikaku's own July 2, 2021 announcement says Satoru Matsuzaki moved from "President & Representative Director" to "Vice Chairman & Director" effective September 1, 2021. The company's current management page then identifies Satoshi Shimizu as "President & Representative Director". So the article's present-tense claim that Satoru Matsuzaki is the president is incorrect.

Claim
Masaaki Kanai (chairman)
Correction

This is outdated. Ryohin Keikaku announced in 2024 that Masaaki Kanai would become an advisor, not chairman.

Full reasoning

Ryohin Keikaku's October 11, 2024 personnel announcement shows that Masaaki Kanai was set to become Advisor from Chairman & Representative Director effective November 23, 2024. The same announcement says Nobuo Domae would become Chairman & Director. That means the article's current infobox claim that Masaaki Kanai is chairman is no longer correct.

Claim
Trust & Custody Services Bank (7.73%)
Correction

This shareholder entry is obsolete. Trust & Custody Services Bank was merged and renamed Custody Bank of Japan in 2020, and Ryohin Keikaku's current shareholder list no longer uses this entity or percentage.

Full reasoning

The bank named in the article no longer exists under that name. Custody Bank of Japan states that Trust & Custody Services Bank, Ltd. merged on July 27, 2020 and the surviving company changed its name to Custody Bank of Japan, Ltd. Ryohin Keikaku's current shareholder-status page likewise lists Custody Bank of Japan, Ltd. (Trust account) among major shareholders, not "Trust & Custody Services Bank," and gives a different current percentage. So the article's owner line is outdated and inaccurate.

Claim
Credit Saison (2.40%)
Correction

This shareholder percentage is outdated. Ryohin Keikaku's official major-shareholder list no longer shows Credit Saison at 2.40%.

Full reasoning

Ryohin Keikaku's current shareholder-status page lists the company's major shareholders as of August 31, 2025. That list does not include Credit Saison at all, while the 10th-largest listed shareholder still holds 1.46%. If Credit Saison actually held 2.40%, it would necessarily appear on that official top-shareholder list. The article's present-tense owner entry is therefore outdated and incorrect.

Claim
The brand name "Muji" appears to have been used since around 1999.
Correction

This is incorrect. Ryohin Keikaku's own history uses the name MUJI decades earlier, including in 1980 and 1983.

Full reasoning

Ryohin Keikaku's official history contradicts this directly. The company says "Mujirushi Ryohin (MUJI)" was established in 1980, and it lists the first directly managed store as "MUJI Aoyama" opening in 1983. It also records the first U.K. store in 1991 as part of the MUJI business. So the name "Muji" was in use well before 1999.
