There are seven stocks which were promoted/reassigned from TSE2, MOTHERS, and JASDAQ in November 2018 leading to the same seven stocks being included in TOPIX at the end of December. 
A couple are decently largecap. Most are smaller.
A good question to ask when looking at these stocks might be... What Really Happens Around TOPIX Inclusions?
Having traded them for much of the last 20yrs, I had my hypotheses, and had done studies over the years for my own purposes, but I had not done a study recently.  To check my personal hypotheses I tested 340+ TOPIX inclusions over the past five years. 
There are patterns to the history of trading these events which are worth a look. Some of the patterns are reasonably interesting.
