Police have obtained an arrest warrant for Shinji Aoba, 41, on suspicion of murder and arson, among other charges, in the July 18 attack that killed 36 people.
He can hold short conversations but has not spoken about the attack, the sources said.
The death toll from the attack, which also injured 33 people, rose to 36 last Friday after a female employee in her 20s died.
