Osaka, whose unbeaten run includes claiming the US Open and Australian Open titles, won 6-3 6-3 against Belgium's 16th seed Elise Mertens.
Australian world number one Ashleigh Barty also advanced by beating 14th seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.
Barty won 6-1 1-6 6-2 in a gripping contest with the 2020 US Open finalist.
