We can't be completely sure, but the assets, sales, and employee numbers look reasonable to me.
The only weird corporate structure I found was Studio Ghibli. Their museum's store (but not the museum itself) is run by Mammayuto Co., Ltd.[1] This company loses 60 million yen a year but has only 1 million yen in liabilities. I'm guessing it's a way for Studio Ghibli to avoid taxes of some kind.
