I think a custom hanko is about 5000 yen, and it is your signature, so treat it as important as your credit cards. They made mine in a day, I think.
I'd recommend Citibank, as they have offices in Japan and the US. You can open the account in the US now, get the debit card, and use it in Japan.

yeah i was going to recommend citi as well. they're pretty much everywhere in big cities. since you're staying in tokyo, i doubt you'd need much more. wiring is the easiest safest way to transfer funds. casheirs check will have to be sent out for collections by their bank, which is a timely process.
