I.e., this is not "entering" Japan, nor causing any issues that would disallow boarding in NRT nor arrival in HKG.

21 day quarantine in HK is already planned as required (relative is a permanent resident of HK so no issues there). No issues w/ getting the negative PCR test in the US prior to departure too.

Many thanks.
Get to airport early
Timaticweb allows you to input the trip including transit, or use their map utility to lookup japan

It would say something like transit-japan: allowed, passengers via NRT must transit same calendar day
