English title
The Ministerial position has gone through changes in its official English title. During deliberations of the Digital Agency Establishment Act, the official English title provided on the outline of the legislation was "Digital Minister". After the appointment of Takuya Hirai, there was no official English title, as the English version of the Cabinet Office's List of Ministers, State Ministers and Parliamentary Vice-Ministers only listed the name of Takuya Hirai without any mention of the official English title. The official English title for the position was changed to Minister for Digital Agency with the inauguration of the First Kishida Cabinet, but was later changed to Minister for Digital. Since 2022, Minister for Digital Transformation has been used for the official English title of the position.
