This article explores whether or not Her Excellency Ms. Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan who assumed office on November, 19, 2013, can contribute to developing Japan-U.S. relations. President Obama nominated Ms. Kennedy for this post in July 2013. While the nomination was immediately welcomed by the Japanese government, critics were divided over the president's choice. Some hail the choice because of her close relations with President Obama, but others are concerned because she lacks experience in public office. Still others hope that, as the first woman to be nominated, she might give inspiration to Japanese women, who continue to endure low social status compared to their counterparts in other developed countries. In order to determine whether Ambassador Kennedy can contribute positively to Japan-U.S. relations, the following aspects will be examined: her family background and her past career; the qualifications for a U.S. ambassador to Japan; the issues that she is likely to face during her term; and the pros and cons of being the first female U.S. Ambassador to Japan. At the same time, the author notes that, because she attracts so much media attention both in Japan and in the U.S., Ambassador Kennedy has the potential to contribute to boosting the two countries' important bilateral relationship.Further, the author discusses the political implication for Japan-U.S. relations should Ambassador Kennedy carry out her expected visit to Nagasaki, one of the two cities to have been destroyed by nuclear bombs dropped by American warplanes at the end of World War II.
