Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has reappointed all of his Cabinet ministers, following his reelection by the Diet as Japan's leader.
Both Houses chose him as the country's 98th prime minister on Wednesday. The ruling coalition won a landslide victory in last month's general election.
Abe met with Natsuo Yamaguchi, the leader of junior coalition partner Komeito, to discuss his new ministerial lineup. Then, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga announced the members.
Abe's 4th Cabinet was inaugurated on Wednesday night, after an attestation ceremony at the Imperial Palace.
In reappointing all the ministers, Abe stressed policy continuity. His last Cabinet was reshuffling only 3 months ago.
In keeping with his election pledges, Abe will announce a supplementary budget for the current fiscal year.
He plans to instruct Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso to compile a draft.
The extra budget is expected to include funding for improved child-care services to resolve an acute shortage of such facilities.

The head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has strongly criticized North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, but says the issue must be resolved through peaceful negotiations.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg gave a news conference at the Japan National Press Club in Tokyo on Tuesday. He is in Japan for the first time since he took office in 2014.
Stoltenberg said "NATO remains very concerned by Pyongyang's destabilizing behavior which poses a threat to regional and international peace and security."
He said "NATO takes that threat very seriously."
He added "North Korea must abandon its nuclear program once and for all. It must suspend the development of ballistic missiles. And it must refrain from further testing."
Stoltenberg noted the importance of steadily implementing UN Security Council sanctions resolutions to apply pressure on North Korea, but stressed that NATO supports a resolution through peaceful talks.
Stoltenberg also referred to his meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe earlier in the day.
He said he and Abe agreed to work together to tackle the mounting global threat of cyber-attacks. He said NATO and Japan will promote information-sharing and technological cooperation on the issue.

Police in New York are looking into what led the driver of a pickup truck to mow down people on a bike path in Lower Manhattan.
8 people were killed and at least 11 were injured in the incident at around 3 PM Tuesday local time.
Police detained the driver at the scene. US media have reported that he is Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old immigrant from Uzbekistan.
ABC Television and others say he shouted "God is great" in Arabic, and left a note in the vehicle claiming he carried out the attack in the name of the Islamic State militant group.
The militant group has exploited the Internet to encourage the use of vehicles as weapons, exemplified by the attack in Nice, France, last July in which a large truck was used to kill more than 80 people.
New York police are investigating whether the man was influenced by extremist ideology.

The torch relay for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics has begun in South Korea.
The Olympic flame was lit in Greece last week and arrived by plane at Incheon International Airport on Wednesday, 100 days before the start of the games.
In a ceremony at the airport, South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon said the country leaped toward the world through the Seoul Olympics in 1988, and the world broke down the Cold War structure.
He said the PyeongChang Games will contribute to the peace and prosperity of South Korea and the world, and that they will continue to the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.
Lee then handed the torch to the first bearer, a female figure skater, and the relay kicked off.
The torch is to be carried 2,018 kilometers by 7,500 runners, symbolizing the 75 million people of the 2 Koreas.
The flame is to be used to ignite a caldron at the opening ceremony on February 9th.
South Korean people's interest in the games is said to remain low.
The organizing committee hopes the relay will create momentum, as ticket sales of many past Olympics have increased drastically after their relays began.

The Japanese government is considering levying a departure tax for travelers to help boost its tourism policies.
Officials say the new revenue would be used to speed up immigration checks and develop cultural and natural attractions in rural areas, among other improvements.
A rough draft compiled by the Tourism Agency suggests collecting about 1,000 yen, or nearly 9 dollars, from everyone departing the country by air or sea.
The agency estimates that annual revenue from the new tax would amount to about 350 million dollars.
Government and ruling coalition officials say they will further debate the plan through the end of the year and are thinking about starting the levy in fiscal 2019.

Sony's iconic pet robot AIBO is making a comeback for the first time in 12 years.
The electronic dog has been equipped with artificial intelligence capable of learning what keeps owners happy.
Organic LED panels used for the eyes can display a range of expressions. And up to 20 sensors help the robot analyze the environment and the movement of people as it walks around.
Sony President and CEO Kazuo Hirai says this combination of AI, sensors and robotic technology showcases what the company is capable of.
The new AIBO goes on sale on Wednesday with a price tag of 198,000 yen, or about 1,700 dollars. But owners will have to wait until January 11th to receive it.
In separate developments, Sony released on Tuesday its group earnings report for the April to September period.
Sales increased to 34.5 billion dollars, up nearly 19 percent in yen terms from a year ago. The operating profit more than tripled to 3.2 billion dollars, the highest figure since 1997.
Sony attributes the positive results to expanding demand for smartphone image sensors, as well better profits from the sale of high-end television sets.
