In this paper, we would like to identify the subject position in Japanese,following Goto's (2010) and Saito's (2011)arguments. Specifically, we will argue that, in Japanese, which has no Agreement, no Feature Inheritance (FI) takes place, and due to no FI the [EPP] feature does not emerge on T, which resides on C. Therefore, the subject in Japanese ends up with moving to SpecCP; on the other hand, in English. which has Agreement, FI does take place and due to it the [EPP] feature emerges on T, so the subject in English ends up with moving to SpecTP. Assuming this difference, we will account for several binding facts, which would confmn the validity of the current analysis.
