I didn't believe you so I looked it up -

Article 2 - Definitions

For the purpose of this Law, a 'child' means a person under the age of 18 years.

Age of majority

The Article 3 of the Japanese Civil Code states that the age of majority is twenty (20) years old.

Age of consent for sexual activity

The Article 177 of the Penal Code puts the age of consent for sexual actitvity at thirteen (13) years.

Age of consent for marriage

Articles 731 and 737 of the Civil Code provides that the age of consent for marriage is eighteen (18) years for men, and sixteen (16) for women.

But when a minor wants to get married, he or she needs the consent of his or her parents.
