Does anyone know how to receive text messages from Japan on an American cell phone ? Yahoo Japan requires registration of a cell phone number. I don't know how to do this since I don't have a Japanese cell phone number.

Text Message ? Yahoo Japan ? ?
You want to get a text to your US cell phone number ? If you want to use email, why not use G-Mail
Otherwise, you can use LINE or FaceBook ?
I don't understand your question.

Probably not.
In my friend's case :
I used a Japanese family member's number in a case where it was used for bank authentication.
The authentication number was given to me on line.

Not an American cell phone, but
Softbank's "Unlimited Use in the U.S." is possible
at no extra charge.

For people who live in Japan and travel to the U.S., so 4 is meaningless.

That's not true.
I think you are assuming that it is for people who travel ?
I have a Softbank phone and live in the US for a long time.

However, the questioner is probably asking how to receive text messages from Japan on an American cell phone
( with only an American cell phone ) so having another one would be an extra expense.

But some people want certainty over a small expense.

If it is a text message from a Japanese individual, you can receive it normally.

If you mean SMS verification, you cannot receive it on your cell phone here.

I can do everything on my phone and PC, but payment is by direct debit.
More importantly, I only use it for SMS verification, so it's always within the basic fee.

Yahoo Japan is not the only one. Banks now require a Japanese cell phone number to receive passcodes by text message when registering for sites and accounts with 2-step verification
Even if you have a Japanese cell phone, you cannot receive texts abroad
So the question, "How to receive text messages from Japan on your US cell phone" is not available now
On the other hand, there is a way to receive text messages from the US on your Japanese cell phone. So, there is no way to receive text messages from Japan on your US phone On the other hand, there is a way to receive text messages from the US on your Japanese phone.
