Ownership Query: Mark Andrews (Gig Harbor, WA) and Hideko Hiromatsu (Nagasaki, Japan) — No Public Information Available
Unable to Answer: Private Individuals, No Public Record
The question asks about assets owned by two private individuals — Mark Andrews of Gig Harbor, Washington and Hideko Hiromatsu of Nagasaki, Japan. There is no publicly available information linking these specific individuals to any shared or individual ownership of property, businesses, vessels, intellectual property, or other assets.
Why This Information Isn't Accessible
- Privacy Laws: Property ownership, corporate registrations, and financial holdings of private citizens are not published in searchable public databases in the US (WA) or Japan without consent or legal process.
- No Public Figures: Neither name appears in news, corporate filings (SEC, EDINET), academic publications, patent databases, or maritime registries in a way that connects them.
- Common Names: "Mark Andrews" and "Hideko Hiromatsu" are not unique identifiers; thousands share these names.
Legitimate Ways to Find Ownership Info (If Authorized)
- US (WA): County Assessor/Treasurer (Pierce County for Gig Harbor) — parcel search by owner name (in-person or online portal).
- Japan: Legal Affairs Bureau (法務局) — real estate registry (登記簿謄本); requires specific address or owner name + address.
- Corporate: WA Secretary of State (Corporations Search); Japan NTA (National Tax Agency) corporate number search.
- Vessels: USCG Documentation (US); MLIT (Japan) — requires vessel name/hull number.
Bottom Line
Without a specific asset identifier (address, company name, vessel name, patent number), and without legal standing (court order, due diligence authorization), this question cannot be answered from public sources. If you have a specific context (e.g., a joint venture, a property address), provide that for a targeted search.
