List of spouses of prime ministers of Japan


This is a list of spouses of prime ministers of Japan.
The media often refers to the spouse of a Japanese prime minister as the "First Lady of Japan" or "First Gentleman of Japan." However, as the prime minister is not head of state but head of government, this differs considerably from its equivalent in the United States.

Role and duties

The role of the prime minister's consort is not an official position, and so they are not given a salary or official duties.
