Following Inukai's decision to step down for health reasons, 71-year-old Ogura begins his two-year term of office which will also see him take control of the committee which will head up Japan's 2022 World Cup bid.
"What I would like to do within these two years is to quickly appoint a new Japan coach, to make the JFA a good organisation and a public-service incorporated foundation, to make the JFA more internationalised and to bring the World Cup to Japan," said Ogura.
"It is also important to have a close relationship with our regional associations and the J.League."
