One company in the researched set discloses a stake in Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc. (HDJ), none of it sized by anyone who discloses it. Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc.

Haagen-Dazs Japan makes, imports and sells Haagen-Dazs super premium ice cream and frozen novelties in Japan under licence to the brand, and is the largest premium ice cream business in the country. It was set up in Tokyo in August 1984 as a three way venture: Takanashi Milk Products brings the dairy sourcing and domestic manufacturing, Suntory brings distribution and sales reach, and General Mills holds its half through the Dutch company Haagen-Dazs Nederland, which supplies the brand. Mini cups for convenience stores are produced in Japan while other formats are imported. The company has built much of its business on flavours developed for Japanese tastes, including a green tea line launched in 1996 and the Japone regional series, and it reported net sales of about 422 million dollars in the year to March 2021. It ran flagship parlours in Aoyama and Ginza from the 1980s but closed its last permanent shop in 2013 and now sells mainly through retail and seasonal pop up counters.

Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc. (HDJ) files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from General Mills, Inc. Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 (SEC), Haagen-Dazs Japan (Japanese Wikipedia), Company overview, Haagen-Dazs Japan (company website) and Haagen-Dazs Japan entry (Kotobank). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- General Mills, Inc.. General Mills FY2026 10-K, Note 5: 'We also have a 50 percent interest in Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc. (HDJ). This joint venture manufactures and markets Haagen-Dazs ice cream products and frozen novelties.' The joint-venture co-owner is not named anywhere in this 10-K (searched 'Suntory' and other terms, zero hits), so it is left unknown rather than assumed. Same combined-balance trap as CPW: HDJ shares one combined 'Cumulative investments' balance of $254.7 million (31 May 2026) with CPW, no individual split disclosed, so value_usd is null here too. HDJ net sales (100 percent basis) were $341.7 million for fiscal 2026. source
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc. (HDJ) where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
