Yoshiko Mibuchi, sometimes given as Yoshiko Sanfuchi was born Yoshiko Mutoh in Singapore on January 30, 1914. At the time the definition of someone who could enter the modern legal profession in Japan was "A Male Japanese national" who must be at least twenty years old. This wasn't amended until 1933. It was 1936 before women were allowed enter the bar. So it was then that women began to take the exam for entrance to the bar. Mibuchi was one of the first three women, including Masako Nakata and Ai Kume, to pass the exam in 1938. The women were about to study law from 1929 at Women's College, Meiji University. All three became fully qualified lawyers after an eighteen-month internship, in 1940. Mibuchi became one of the first two women judges in 1949 after the new constitution. She was the first woman judge in the Nagoya District Court in 1952. In 1972 Mibuchi went on to be the first woman chief judge of the Niigata Prefecture family court. She died November 13, 1984.[1][2][3][4]
