We present an algorithm to self-consistently generate mock weak gravitational lensing convergence fields and galaxy distributions in redshift space. We generate three-dimensional cosmic density fields that follow a log-normal distribution, and ray-trace them to produce convergence maps. As we generate the galaxy distribution from the same density fields in a manner consistent with ray-tracing, the galaxy-convergence cross-power spectrum measured from the mock agrees with the theoretical expectation with high precision. We use this simulation to forecast the quality of galaxy-shear cross-correlation measurements from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) and Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) surveys. We find that the nominal HSC and PFS surveys would detect the cross power spectra with signal-to-noise ratios of 20 and 5 at the lowest (z = 0.7) and highest (z = 2.2) redshift bins, respectively.
