<p>At least four people were injured during the severe weather, while dozens of homes have been damaged and hundreds left without power.</p>
<p>One missing person was possibly buried under the same mudslide where another had been confirmed dead, according to deputy chief cabinet secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura.</p>
<p>The casualties occurred in the hardest-hit southern prefecture of Kagoshima.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged to “do our best for rescue and life-saving activities”.</p>
<p>Nearly 80 houses were damaged in Kagoshima and the two other southern prefectures of Miyazaki and Kumamoto. About 1,700 houses were without power.</p>
<p>Videos on social media showed a river in Kagoshima swollen with muddy, brown water threatening to overrun its banks.</p>
<p>Kagoshima governor Satoshi Mitazono requested the help of military personnel in the rescue effort. About 14,000 troops were on standby.</p>
<p>He said rainfall since the weekend has exceeded one metre in areas.</p>
<p>He cautioned residents against landslide risks and urged them to stay up to date with weather reports.</p>
<p>More than one million residents had been advised to evacuate to shelters.</p>
