If the company you work for goes out of business, you have no legal guarantee of receiving overdue pay. However, all taxpayers are entitled to unemployment benefit (the amount and duration depends on how long you have been working). For details, contact the Tokyo Employment Service Center for Foreigners in Shinjuku (03 3204 8369, www.tfemploy.go.jp). Losing your job will not cost you your visa. For other sources of advice, see the labour law section.
