TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese finance minister's post is likely to go to former Olympics minister Shunichi Suzuki in presumptive new Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's new cabinet, the Yomiuri daily reported late on Thursday.

Incumbent finance minister Taro Aso is set to become the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) vice president, the paper said.
