About 90% of adoptions in Japan are adult adoptions.
The practice is mostly used to continue family lines, pass on businesses, or manage inheritance.
Adopted adults can take the family name and become legal heirs.

Adoption can also happen in same-sex relationships, though such unions are not legally recognized in Japan.
