A sponsor is not always required. You can get a "shokutaku" visa, which entails signing up customers willing to guarantee that they will each buy a certain amount of goods or services from you. These should total up to at least ¥210,000 a month, maybe more now. Also, if you invest in your own business, typically ¥5 million, you can get an investor visa. No sponsor is required in either case.
For first-times, however, these options are not really practical.
