Private Investigators
It can be difficult to find a reliable private investigator in Japan. It

may also be connected with organized crime, i.e. Yakuza. Certainly there are
reputable ones, but it is important to be careful in your selection.
Please report any good or bad experiences to

Notes On Tracking A Child
One person tells us that based on books concerning debt avoidance, the only way to track people through "the system" if
they have changed their name/koseki, is through their social insurance number, though even that doesn't work if people
abandon their accumulated pensions OR have not acquired a number yet (which seems likely in the case of a child).
