Spousal Visa: Guarantor 2011/1/25 12:24
Question: wife and i are currently in the US and I am looking to get a spousal visa. Her father is dying and wont be able to be the guarantor and no other relatives exist.

Does anyone know who else can be a guarantor? Friends, colleagues?

A post by Sira (about halfway down) might be of help, if you are talking about "financial" guarantor.

As stated above, your wife can be the guarantor for the visa process.

wife cannot be guarantor 2011/1/26 00:03
your wife can only be your guarantor if you are already residing in Japan. My wife does not reside in Japan and has not filed Taxes in Japan for 2 years because she works in the US.

The guarantor must reside in Japan and have taxes filed within the last 6 months.

So does anyone know if non-relatives can be guarantors? I know corporations usually perform this role for housing but my previous visa's in Japan were work visa's and I was hoping to go the spousal route this time.

Why don't you just ask the consulate?
