A Prime Minister is an elected official of a party in a democratic society. To become PM you would be elected. If you were the son of a ruler and became ruler yourself, then you would be in an Aristocracy, not a democracy.

The Prime Minister of Japan (å
é£ç·çå¤§è£ Naikaku sÅri daijin) is the English political nomenclature of the head of government of Japan, although the literal translation is Prime Minister of the Cabinet.The Prime Minister is appointed by the Emperor of Japan after being designated by the Diet from among its members, and must enjoy the confidence of the House of Representatives to remain in office. The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet and appoints and dismisses the Ministers of State. The current Prime Minister of Japan, since 2001, is Junichiro Koizumi.
The Prime Minister is designated by both houses of the Diet, before the conduct of any other business. For this purpose, each conducts a ballot under the run-off system. If the two houses choose different individuals, then a joint committee of both houses is appointed to agree on a common candidate. Ultimately, however, if the two houses do not agree within ten days, the decision of the House of Representatives is deemed to be that of the Diet. Therefore, the House of Representatives can theoretically ensure the appointment of any Prime Minister it wishes.
