In 1996, Nagao was appointed to the Cabinet of Japan as the Minister of Justice by Ryutaro Hashimoto, where she was the only woman and only appointee who was not a member of Parliament already.[1][2][3][4][5] Before her appointment as the Minister of Justice, she worked as a bureaucrat in the Health and Welfare Ministry.[1]
