OK, there was no non-Japanese bias!!
Mine was received on April 27th, but into a bank account other than the one I was expecting it in. So I didn't notice it.

Re: Japanese Income Tax Refund -- When?
We submitted ours in paper form around the April 15th deadline, and got the postcard/payment a few days ago. If that helps anyone.
Re: Japanese Income Tax Refund -- When?
I submitted mine on March 1st and received the postcard on May 8th notifying me of their intention to begin the direct deposit procedure. On May 20th I received a letter stating that the direct deposit was rejected along with a form to verify/change my account information as necessary. I could see they used my full name in Katakana instead of just my first/last name in Romaji (which is what I provided for the bank transfer information). Very annoying. Sent back the form with the correction and finally the refund was direct deposited yesterday, June 2nd.
Coincidentally, on the same day, I received my first property tax bill from the same tax office in the mail. In some sense, it was was a big surprise because it was much lower than I had anticipated. In fact, the home loan income tax credit I received has completely offset my property tax bill plus all the interest on the loan I paid over the year. That is amazing.
