The Japanese language has a great variety of verb inflectional suffixes (auxiliaries), each having conjugation of their own. In this paper we propose a corpus-based approach to studying Japanese verb paradigms. Such an approach benefits from identifying possible verb forms on big data of written language. Description of methods and tools used for building databases of verbs and auxiliaries and for parsing verb 7-grams from a Japanese N-gram Corpus is presented.
