Based on my careful assessment of Tokai Tokyo as a long-standing, FSA-regulated Japanese broker, I approach all issues involving withdrawals with considerable caution. Although the precise document requirements for a first withdrawal are not directly spelled out in the information I reviewed, my experience with similar reputable, regulated institutions in Japan gives me a good foundation for an informed response. Generally, brokers like Tokai Tokyo—especially those overseen by the Financial Services Agency (FSA)—have strict compliance with Japanese financial regulations, which typically require proof of identity and residency to process withdrawals. For me, this has usually involved providing government-issued photo identification (such as a passport or driver’s license) and a recent utility bill or official document confirming my address. Sometimes, the broker may request the same documents used during the account opening process if any information has changed or needs updating for regulatory audits. Based on my conservative and risk-aware approach, I make it a habit to confirm such requirements directly with customer support before initiating any withdrawal, as policy details occasionally shift or may be subject to specific compliance reviews. Given reports of customer support responsiveness varying, I would initiate contact early and ensure all documentation is in clear, acceptable formats to mitigate any risk of delay. I only proceed with withdrawals when all regulatory and broker requirements are fully understood and satisfied.
