Template:Nihongo
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Template:Cs1 and Template:Cs2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. |
Usage
This template marks the kanji segment as being in Japanese kanji and/or kana, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly. It also applies the t_nihongo_kanji CSS class.

| English (kanji/kana rōmaji?, extra) extra2 | English (Japanese: kanji/kana Hepburn: rōmaji?, extra) extra2 |
- Parameters
- English. Optional. The word as translated into English. Note that this will sometimes be the actual Japanese word due to it being adopted into English.
- kanji/kana. Required. The word as written in Japanese (kanji, kana, Roman letters, and possibly other marks).
- rōmaji. Optional. Transliteration of the Japanese word, using Hepburn Romanization.
- lead=yes. Optional. This should be used for the first instance of Japanese, usually in the lead. It gives the reader an idea what kind of non-English writing they are viewing.
