If it's a notability question, then Keep as pass of
WP:AUTHOR#3. The ja.wp article shows a long list of publications, and about 45 seconds of Googling in Japanese for sources before 2017 (so, prior to political activities) found several reviews of her books in national newspapers as well as related interviews (e.g.
[4][5][6][7][8] etc.). I have no doubt that more targeted searching for specific titles would find more, given how easy those were to find. So, in my opinion, the subject is notable under
WP:AUTHOR#3, particularly the bit about creating or co-creating significant work that is the subject of "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews", and all of the other coverage is bonus material that will make expanding the article easier. As for "her only claim to notability is the fact that she is transgender", well, no, given that her work was getting reviewed in national newspapers before she went public with her gender identity.

Keep - Although the article itself needs to be expanded and needs someone to look over the Japanese sources, there seems to be decent English coverage (
[9],
[10]), a documentary has been made about her (
[11]) and judging from the research listed on the university page (
[12]) and teh list given above by
User:Indignant Flamingo she also has a good shot at
WP:NPROF, though again, would need a Japanese speaker to confirm this.
