Strategic Brief
Who they are
Haba Michinori serves as Deputy Director-General (審議官) at Japan's Financial Services Agency, a senior policy-execution role within the FSA's institutional hierarchy. His portfolio encompasses regulatory oversight of banking, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency/blockchain frameworks. The position places him at the intersection of traditional finance supervision and emerging digital asset policy, though specific tenure details are not publicly documented.

Connection to your practice
Haba's FSA remit directly overlaps with three of Gemini Government Relations' four tracked fintech issues: Banking & Financial Institutions, Cryptocurrency / Blockchain, and—by extension—Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Crime, given the FSA's role in enforcing AML/CFT compliance across both legacy banks and crypto exchanges. As Deputy Director-General, he sits one tier below the Commissioner, meaning he likely shapes implementing regulations, coordinates inter-ministerial consultations, and briefs legislators ahead of parliamentary sessions. For clients operating at the nexus of banking and digital assets—whether traditional FIs launching stablecoin pilots, crypto exchanges navigating registration renewals, or payment platforms awaiting rule clarifications—Haba is a pivotal node in the approval chain. His position makes him particularly relevant for clients seeking advance insight into FSA policy direction or hoping to contribute technical input during public-comment windows.
Strategic angle
Lead with technical substance and data-driven submissions during FSA consultation periods; Haba's office values precision and alignment with international standards (FATF, BIS). Frame client asks around operational stability and consumer protection rather than deregulation, given the FSA's post-bubble mandate. Avoid pitching radical frameworks—incremental adaptation of existing law carries more weight than greenfield proposals.
