Annual Salary (JPY)
The Advanced Specialized/Technical and Business Management categories require an annual salary of at least ¥3M (¥3M itself scores nothing). For the Academic and Technical categories salary points depend on age: under 30 from ¥4M, 30–34 from ¥5M, 35–39 from ¥6M, 40 and over from ¥8M.
Research record (a patent, publicly funded research, 3+ papers, etc. — any one)
Bonus Points
Only one of N1/N2 and one of representative director/director counts. If you scored the Japanese university degree bonus, N2 and training add nothing.
