As far as I know, Mainichi news press (the newspaper company who originated this report) jumped on the gun, and it wasn't actually accurate report to begin with.
As the English version of Wired News states: [UPDATE 24/04/2013] This article, and its headline, originally stated that the panel's recommendation that "the internet provider industry and other entities" referred to ISPs being asked to block the use of Tor. It has since been clarified that the NPA wishes for individual site administrators to be responsible for blocking Tor users. The case that involved Tor and caused a bit of controversy because of so many false-arrests (and forced confessions) is ending with no prosecution due to no material evidences; so I wouldn't be too surprised that it is NPA's real wish.
