TOKYO, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Softbank Corp (9984.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), Japan's smallest mobile phone carrier, won roughly twice as many new subscribers as its two bigger rivals combined in January, data released by the operators showed on Thursday.

Softbank signed up a net 200,700 additional subscribers, beating its rivals for the ninth straight month, amid a price war in a saturated market.

No. 2 player KDDI Corp (9433.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) added a net 82,700 users while Japan's top mobile phone carrier, NTT DoCoMo Inc (9437.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), came in last with a net 19,800 new users last month. (Reporting by Mayumi Negishi)
