Career as an intelligence analyst in Japan

I have posted this on r/japan but it seems to be deleted, perhaps it was not a suitable forum.

I am thinking of studying for my second master degree in Japan (in 2028). After 2 years of studying, I am hoping to get a job in the country, particularly related to intelligence/security/investigation jobs.

Could you give me any insights related to opportunities? I am an Indonesian citizen with backgrounds in political, defense, and media analysis.

Apart from my native languages (Minangkabau and Indonesian), I am fluent in English. I am currently working on my Japanese (it's still N5 level for now, targetting myself to reach N3 level in 2 years), and my Spanish proficiency is still A2 (I am working to reach the B1 level in 2 years as well).

Any insight, input is very appreciated!

P.S. intelligence, security, or investigation jobs do not necessarily mean working for the government. I am talking about jobs for private companies, especially the ones within the field of defense, security, investigation, or consulting.
