Are you sure? I just Googled 'The Master Trust Bank of Japan Ltd.' (the only listed shareholder with 9.78% ownership) and it seems to be owned by Mitsubishi Trust Bank and a bunch of other banks, and nothing to do with the BoJ...

http://www.opac1.com/bank/detail.php?bcd=5960 yeah according to this it's owned by Mitsubishi Trust, Nippon Life Insurance, Meiji Life Insurance, Touyou Trust (which became a chunk of UFJ Trust), and ... I think Deutsche Bank?

So like a bunch of fingers in this pie. A good or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
