Can a Dependent Visa Holder in Japan Make a Legally Binding Investment in a Small Business?

My friend and I are planning to start a cafe business in Kanagawa-ken. However, I’m currently on a Dependent Visa and would prefer not to change my visa status, as I still have several years remaining on my stay.

The investment amount is ¥5 million, and I want to ensure that my contribution is legally protected. I don’t want to rely solely on trust.

I’m looking for a legal structure that allows me to invest as an partner in the business, without being involved in management or day to day operations, purely as a capital investor.

If you’re aware of a way to structure this arrangement legally, I’d appreciate your guidance.
In case, needed, I am over 20 years old.
