TOKYO (Reuters) -&nbsp;Japan's&nbsp;government&nbsp;nominated&nbsp;academic&nbsp;and former Bank of&nbsp;Japan&nbsp;(BOJ) board member Kazuo&nbsp;Ueda&nbsp;to become the next central bank&nbsp;governor, a document submitted to parliament showed on Tuesday.
If confirmed,&nbsp;Ueda&nbsp;would succeed Haruhiko Kuroda, whose term ends on April 8, the document showed.
Former Financial Services Agency chief Ryozo Himino and career central banker and&nbsp;BOJ&nbsp;executive Shinichi Uchida were named as the two deputy&nbsp;governors, replacing incumbent Masayoshi Amamiya and Masazumi Wakatabe. Their terms start on March 20.
The&nbsp;government's nomination needs the approval of both houses of parliament, making it effectively a done deal since the ruling coalition holds solid majorities in both chambers.
