Times Car is run by a subsidiary of PARK24. The breach affected more than 6.6 million accounts and includes 1.6 million identity records such as photos of people's driving licenses.
Tokyo-based lawyer Makino Yuki set up a website on Wednesday so victims can file a joint suit for damages. More than 10,000 people had registered by Friday.
The operator of Times Car says a compensation policy will be compiled following an external investigation. Makino says any decision to file a lawsuit would come after the results.
