Education and Career[]

Miura was born on October 23, 1956, in Japan. He attended the University of Tokyo and graduated with a degree in Law in 1980. He served first as a public prosecutor in several district courts, then as an official in the Ministry of Justice, then finally as a Superintending Prosecutor in several regional courts before being appointed to the Supreme Court.^[1]

Supreme Court[]

On February 26, 2018, Miura was appointed to the Supreme Court of Japan. In Japan, justices are formally nominated by the Emperor (at that time, Akihito)^[2] but in reality the Cabinet chooses the nominees and the Emperor's role is a formality.^[3]

Miura's term is scheduled to end on October 22, 2026 (one day before he turns 70). This is because all members of the court have a mandatory retirement age of 70.^[3]
