Changing gender to fit new birth certificate after moving to Japan

Hello everyone, I found myself in a very specific situation and I cannot find the answer online. I thought of asking reddit as a last resort before contacting the embassy, although they tend to be very vague when it comes to such issues.

I recently came back to my home country where I initiated a legal procedure to change my gender on my birth certificate and IDs.

However, this usually takes a long time to do, and I just got a job offer in Japan that I am considering taking.

That would make me go back to Japan with legal documents showing my precious gender, and the gender change in my home country would occur while I am already living there.

My question is : Once my new documents with the correct gender are issued in my home country, is there a procedure to update my japanese documents to also reflect the gender change?

I appreciate all help and personal experiences regarding those issues, thank you ! 🙂
