Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Description

This template is used for adding Japanese text to articles. This template should only be used for official names and terms on articles to mark them as non-fanmade.

Functions

This template is used to provide the term/name in the original language in the case that the English translation is questioned, as well as to provide the pronunciation of the term/name in the Japanese language.

Syntax

Type

{{Nihongo|Eng|Kanji|Romaji}}

wherever you want to add Japanese text next to a term/name.

Replace:

Eng -> The English term

Kanji - > The term in Japanese

Romaji - > The romanization of the kanji/kana.

Additionally, there is also a named "Furigana" parameter, for adding any Furigana given for a set of kanji, in the original text:

{{Nihongo|Eng|Kanji|Furigana=text|Romaji}}

Example

• Without furigana:

{{Nihongo|Sword Art Online|ソードアート・オンライン|Sōdo Āto Onrain}}

Becomes...

Sword Art Online (ソードアート・オンライン, Sōdo Āto Onrain^?)

• With furigana:

{{Nihongo|Tsujikaze|辻風|Furigana=ツジカゼ|Tsujikaze}}

Becomes...

Tsujikaze (辻風(ツジカゼ), Tsujikaze^?)

Notes

• The template will malfunction if you do not add at least 2 pipes ( | ) to the template after the English term. I.e., if you do not have the romaji, you must still write {{Nihongo|English|Kanji|}} for the template to work.
• Notes may be added to the template by adding additional pipes:
  • Example:{{Nihongo|Fuurinkazan|風林火山|Fūrinkazan|lit. "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain"}} becomes...
  • Fuurinkazan (風林火山, Fūrinkazan^?, lit. "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain")
• If you need to bold the term/name or add «» around it, add it around the English term/name
  • Example: {{Nihongo|«'''Sword Art Online'''»|ソードアート・オンライン|Sōdo Āto Onrain}} becomes
  • «Sword Art Online» (ソードアート・オンライン, Sōdo Āto Onrain^?)
