  Prime Minister of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet and appoints and dismisses the Ministers of State.
The Prime Minister must resign if the House of Representatives adopts a motion of no confidence or defeats a vote of confidence, unless the House of Representatives is dissolved within ten days.
Theoretically, the Prime Minister is very powerful, with a role most similar to the German chancellor and even greater because of Japan's unitary form of government.

 Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In parliamentary systems like the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding head of the government while the position of head of state (the King, Queen or President), who may officially be the head of the executive, is largely ceremonial.
The Prime Minister is formally the presiding minister of the Privy Council and the cabinet.
Contrary to popular and journalistic belief, most prime ministers in parliamentary systems are not appointed for a specific term of office and in effect may remain in power through a number of elections and parliaments.
