Japanese police are investigating phone calls in which death threats were made against US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy.
Authorities in Tokyo said that the calls were made to the US Embassy and threatened to kill Ms Kennedy, the daughter of US President John F Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline.
Similar calls threatened Alfred Magleby, the US consul general based on the southern island of Okinawa, where 25,000 American troops are based.
"We take any threats to US diplomats seriously," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement on Wednesday.
She did not confirm any specific threats to Ms Kennedy or Mr Magleby.
"We are working with the Japanese government to ensure the necessary measures are in place," she said.
Earlier this month, the US ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert, was knifed by an anti-American activist in Seoul and had to spend several days in hospital.
Japanese media reports said that the death threats came last month from a caller speaking in English, and that police were looking into the case on suspicion of blackmailing.
No other details, including motives, were known.
