Defending champion Azuma Yano was in a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard after the opening round of the ANA Open.
The 32-year-old carded a six-under-par 66 at the Sapporo Golf Club Wattsu course and is alongside Kenichi Kuboya and Koumei Oda.
Takashi Kanemoto, Tommy Nakajima and Toru Taniguchi are one stroke behind in a share of fourth place after carding matching five-under 67s.
Japanese teen prodigy Ryo Ishikawa, who claimed his fifth Japan Tour title two weeks ago, is in a group of eight players two shots off the pace after carding a four-under 68.
