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.

Citi Japan and Citi America are different entities. I was unable to link my US Citi account to a Japanese Citi account. A US Citi ATM card will work at some machines, including Post Office ATMs, but it will not work in most convenience stores.
