Master of Go is next on my list

I've read most of Murakami, Soseki, and Mishima at this point, who else am I missing?

A fuck load. Tanizaki, Inoue, Dazai, Akutagawa, Abe, Oe, Eiji, Endo and Hearn (not Japanese but pretty much). That's more than enough to keep you going. All of them are good, all are worth reading. Tanizaki, Inoue, Dazai write like Kawabata (Tanizaki and Inoue especially). Akutagawa wrote wonderfully imaginative and strange short stories in his early career before settling into semi-autobiographical stories later on. Abe is known as the Japanese Kafka. I don't even know how to describe Oe. He has one novella which is one huge knock against Mishima which you might like. Eiji writes big popular samurai novels. Sort of puply but puply in the way Master and Commander is, not Game of Thrones. Endo and Hearn due to their relationships with the west (Endo is a catholic and Hearn is an American) write works which help to bridge a gap between Japan and the west. Endo's writers are all about the difficulty that the Japanese have with understanding Christianity and Hearn writes for a western audience.

I think he was a genius, one of the best writers since Virgil.
