Any recommendations on contacting an English speaking Japanese lawyer? I’m looking to get my passport, but I’ve got a bit of a road block. I’m the child of a Japanese citizen, but for asinine reasons my birth date differs between the US and Japan.

You may be wondering "Why is your birth date different?"

I shit you not, my father(the Japanese one) was paranoid about me being gay due to my(male) birthday(ひな祭り), he put the wrong birth date on the koseki. Worries were unfounded. Not gay, just very bad with women.

My father passed away, so can't get his help(or yell at him for being an idiot). I have a copy of my koseki somewhere in my filing cabinet, but it's from… 2018 ish? Is that too old to use?

Pre-Covid, my mom(American) had somewhat looked into it, but Covid kinda fucked over travel plans, so that was kinda abandoned.

Any recommendations?
