Rent in a Gaijin House can run from $500.00 to $900.00. Some places you still have to pay Utilities. That's $3,500 to $3,900 plus Utilities.Lets Just say $4,000 even
I wanna Buy a Phone to use along with Skype to have friends and family from the U.S. to call me.
A also want to go to Mount Fuji and Disneyland Tokyo.
The remaining money from the 5K P/M Budget, i want to use for emergencies or what ever. After all i don't want to use the entire amount. That's just what i want to take to fell comfortable.
The reason i want to go to Japan is that i love the culture, and i want to see Japan for my self.

100 a day for food and stuff is realistic, a bit on the high side, but we are talking about budgeting here, so its always good to over estimate than under.
Leaving 5K to "spend" for 3 months maybe a bit tight depending on the kind of activities you get into. Disneyland isn't that much of a deal, but its a personal preference
Are you staying ONLY in Tokyo? Maybe get a JR pass and wrap up some of the "out of tokyo" stuff first?
