TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-O guardianship visa, it is not strictly necessary to have separate bank accounts for both applicants. In many cases, immigration offices may accept a joint bank account if the combined financial resources meet the required criteria. However, it's advisable to confirm with your specific immigration office for their policies on this matter.

Generally there is no absolute answer to this, and you need to discuss it with your specific immigration office. However, several immigration offices do accept a joint account if, taken together, it qualifies in the same way as if you had applied individually.
