What is a corporate number (法人番号)?

It is the official 13-digit identifier assigned to every registered company and organization in Japan. It is the canonical key for identifying a Japanese legal entity.

Can I search in Japanese?

Yes. Searching by the Japanese or kana company name gives the best matches. The registered names are in Japanese.

How do I find one specific company?

Use the exact name with prefix matching to narrow results, then pick the record whose address matches the entity you want.
