TL;DR
Tokyo Commodity Exchange is JPX’s commodity-exchange subsidiary for energy futures. JPX’s official profile says TOCOM provides and operates a commodity market for energy futures trading.
For FinWiki, TOCOM is the commodity-derivatives branch of the JPX complex and should be kept distinct from OSE financial derivatives and TSE cash securities.

Strategic Reading
TOCOM matters when the question is not about equity finance but about energy-price risk, commodity hedging, and Japan’s comprehensive exchange model. It also helps explain why JPX is broader than a stock exchange holding company.
