On October 2, 2019, Okamura was appointed to the Supreme Court of Japan. In Japan, justices are formally nominated by the Emperor (at that time, Naruhito) but in reality the Cabinet chooses the nominees and the Emperor's role is a formality. Okamura's term is scheduled to end on December 22, 2027, one day before she reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70. References
