Controversy level
- West Japan Railway Company (JR West), Japanese major rail (Kansai/Chugoku/Hokuriku regions, Sanyo Shinkansen operator), has faced sustained Japanese MLIT enforcement scrutiny including the historic 2005 Amagasaki rail derailment incident (107 fatalities, JR West's worst safety disaster) with multiple subsequent Japanese class actions and the contested 2024 sustained share price volatility affecting institutional shareholders.
