Bank requirements for Student Visa

I’m currently researching the financial and bank requirements for a Japan student visa, and I noticed that immigration seems to pay close attention to proof of financial stability. From what I’ve read, they usually ask for recent bank statements, proof of savings, income documents, and sponsor information if a parent or relative is supporting your studies. I’ve also heard that sudden large deposits can sometimes raise questions, so maintaining a consistent balance seems important. For those who already moved to Japan as students, how much savings did you show for your application, did you use your own account or a sponsor’s, and were there any financial issues or additional documents immigration asked from you?

From the title itself, I am just curious what are the bank records they usually accept? Do they accept payroll?
