* All salries are in units of 1-man (10,000) yen.

There is a problem with the above data; it's not complete. There were some players who hadn't signed at the beginning of the season and are therefore missing. I don't know if they're in teh top 10 or not.

As usual it seems that you are informed of everything.

When you say 72000, does it means US$ 7.200.000?

My best greetings and regards.

Sorry, I forgot to include the units with that.

All figures are in units of 10,000 yen. So 72,000 would be 720,000,000 yen. Use this money converter [CNN.com] or any others of your choice for other currencies.

Thanks a lot.

- When you say 72000, does it means US$ 7.200.000?

No, when it says 72,000 it means 72,000-man, take 72,000*10,000 yen, which is 720,000,000 yen, that equals about $6,481,000 USD. The converision rate was found out using the unviersal currency converter at xe.com.
