Japan have made four changes to their beginning line-up for Sundays crucial World Cup game with Scotland.
Victory over Scotland will clinch top place in Pool A along with also a quarter-final from South Africa but Sundays game in Yokohama remains in doubt Due to Super Typhoon Hagibis.
World Rugby say the game remains under review and a determination on if it goes forward will be taken just hours prior to the scheduled 7.45pm Japan time (11.45am BST) kick-off.
Kenki Fukuoka, that scored the winning try against Ireland, replaces Lomano Lemeki on the wing while William Tupou comes in at full-back.
Shota Horie starts at hooker after coming off the bench from the bonus-point win over Samoa, with Luke Thompson favored to Wimpie van der Walt at the second row.
Thompson will become the first Japan player to create 13 Rugby World Cup looks, breaking the record he shares with Hirotoki Onazawa.
Japan: 15 William Tupou, 14 Kotaro Matsushima, 13 Timothy Lafaele, 12 Ryoto Nakamura, 11 Kenki Fukuoka, 10 Yu Tamura, 9 Yutaka Nagare; 1 Keita Inagaki, 2 Shota Horie, 3 Jiwon Koo, 4 Luke Thompson, 5 James Moore, 6 Michael Leitch (c), seven Pieter Labuschagne, 8 Kazuki Himeno.
