   Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan and his Cabinet resigned early Tuesday, making way for Yoshihiko Noda to be confirmed by parliament as the nation's new prime minister.

  Outgoing finance minister Noda emerged as the surprise winner in Monday's vote for the new chief of Japan's ruling Democratic Party. He is expected to be confirmed by parliament Tuesday as Japan's sixth prime minister in five years.
  Mr. Kan stepped down as the party chief last week amid widespread criticism of his handling of the crisis caused by a massive earthquake and tsunami1 in March.
  After his election, Noda made an immediate2 plea for unity3 in his divided party. Addressing party lawmakers from both chambers4 at a Tokyo hotel, he called on the Democrats5 to close ranks and stop bickering6 as they face tough challenges.
  Noda stressed the importance of cooperation in addressing the nation's troubled economy, recovery from the March disasters, and ending the nuclear crisis from the damaged Fukushima power plant.
  As an ally of the outgoing Mr. Kan, Noda is likely to continue many of his predecessor's policies. He is also considered a staunch supporter of the Japan-U.S. security alliance.
  In Washington, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, Victoria Nuland, said the United States is looking forward to continuing close cooperation with Japan and its next prime minister across a broad range of issues.
  Noda will have to deal with a deeply divided parliament.  While the ruling party has a solid majority in the lower house, the upper house is in the hands of the opposition7 Liberal Democratic Party and in a position to block any legislation.
  Noda is expected to seek a coalition8 with the Liberal Democrats and a third party, but it is not clear whether the LDP will be willing to cooperate.
  More than 20,000 people are dead or missing from March's earthquake and tsunami, and thousands more have been displaced from homes near the Fukushima plant.
  Across Japan, homes and factories are operating on reduced power as the government conducts safety tests on all of the country's nuclear reactors9.
