So five million people will find they're not covered because a group
of people in the 80s decided to do a shoddy job. Twenty years later
they point out the problem. Amazing. ^_^

From today's Asahi Shimbun:
"The Social Insurance Agency failed to enter names for more than 10
percent of the 50 million public pension accounts whose rightful owners
are now unknown apparently because the kanji characters created too much
work.
Of those 5.24 million nameless accounts, 3,809 are also missing data for
dates of birth and sex, the agency said Monday.
The 5.24 million accounts were mostly created before 1985, when the
agency completed its online storage of pension accounts. Of those
accounts, 296,000 lack entries for names and dates of birth, while 3,900
were missing the account holders' names and sex.
The agency said employees had failed to enter the names likely because
figuring out the proper kanji for account holders' names was too
enormous a task. "
