3. If the broker's name is not in the list, it means that it may be an unauthorized broker and please watch out it.
If yes, the next step you need to do is to check the broker has the authorization to provide financial service of 'Type I Financial Instruments Business' ;
4. If all the above steps have been done, don't forget to check the most important information: check if the broker details in the Japan FSA list matches the ones you'll go to trade with, especially the website and email etc. If no, please keep away the broker because it's probably an unauthorized firm and your money will fall in danger.
