List of spouses of prime ministers of Japan → First Lady of Japan – Changing the article title to "First Lady of Japan" would create more consistency with other articles of the position of spouses of world leaders, such as First Lady of the United States or First Lady of South Korea Kai2004 (talk) 09:02, 11 October 2021 (UTC) Kai2004 (talk) 09:02, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The list in the US and South Korea is for the spouses of presidents (heads of state), not spouse of prime ministers.  The point of comparison should be Australia, India, Thailand, etc. Is there any evidence of this term being used for the wives of Japanese prime ministers?

 * Oppose – Japan is a monarchy. The title is only used in non-monarchial systems of government. The "first lady" of Japan would be the empress. She is first in line of the orders of precedence.  cookie monster   755  17:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * A Google search confirms that news sources typically use "First Lady" to refer to the spouse of the prime minister, not the empress. 162 etc. (talk) 19:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
