Usage

For more details on when to use this template, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles).

Syntax

Code	{{Nihongo|English|Kanji|Rōmaji|extra|extra2}}
Gives	English (Kanji, Rōmaji, extra) extra2

This template marks the Kanji segment as being in Japanese Kanji, which helps web browsers display it correctly. It also applies it the t_nihongo_kanji CSS style class.

Parameters 1 and 2 are required. Parameters 4 and 5 can also be directly invoked with extra= and extra2=. Parameter extra2 is useful only in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).

Examples

Code	{{Nihongo|'''Motojirō Kajii'''|梶井 基次郎|Kajii Motojirō|1901–1932}}
Gives	Motojirō Kajii (梶井 基次郎, Kajii Motojirō, 1901–1932)

With extra2:

Code	; {{Nihongo|komusō|虚無僧|extra2="Priest of nothingness"}} : Mendicant priest of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism.
Gives	komusō (虚無僧) "Priest of nothingness" Mendicant priest of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism.

Without extra2:

Code	; {{Nihongo|komusō|虚無僧}} "Priest of nothingness" : Mendicant priest of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism.
Gives	komusō (虚無僧) "Priest of nothingness" Mendicant priest of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism.
