== Usage ==
This template marks the <code>[[kanji]]</code> segment as being in Japanese kanji and/or kana, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly.

{{details|topic=when to use this template|Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)}}

'''Syntax:'''
{|class=wikitable
|Without lead=yes
|With lead=yes
|-
|<code><nowiki>{{Nihongo|</nowiki><{{var|english}}>|<{{var|kanji/kana}}>|<{{var|rōmaji}}>|<{{var|extra}}>|<{{var|extra2}}>}}</code>
|<code><nowiki>{{Nihongo|</nowiki><{{var|english}}>|<{{var|kanji/kana}}>|<{{var|rōmaji}}>|lead=yes|extra=<{{var|extra}}>|extra2=<{{var|extra2}}>}}</code>
|}
'''Parameters:'''
* <{{var|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.
* <{{var|kanji/kana}}>. Required when <{{var|rōmaji}}> is empty or omitted. The word as written using Japanese script (kanji, kana).
* <{{var|rōmaji}}>. Required when <{{var|kanji/kana}}> is empty. 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.
* <{{var|extra}}>. Optional. Can be used to add a gloss (particularly if there is no English form). Can also be expressed as a named parameter, <code>extra=</code>
* <{{var|extra2}}>. Optional. Can also be expressed as a named parameter, <code>extra2=</code>. It is only useful in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).

{| CLASS="wikitable"

=== User style ===
[[Help:User style|User style]] can be set by adding code similar to

<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
@media screen, tv {
*[lang="ja"] {
color: green;
}
}</syntaxhighlight>

to [[Special:Mypage/common.css|common.css]].

==Error messaging==
This template emits one error message of its own:
:<span class="error" style="font-size:100%">error: <nowiki>{{nihongo}}</nowiki>: Japanese or romaji text required</span>
One of the positional parameters <code><{{var|kanji/kana}}></code> (<code><nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki></code>), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <code><{{var|rōmaji}}></code> (<code><nowiki>{{{3}}}</nowiki></code>) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in {{clc|Nihongo template errors}}.

This error often occurs because the template is malformed:
:<code><nowiki>{{Nihongo|東京タワー}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{Nihongo||東京タワー}}</nowiki></code>; {{lang|ja|東京タワー}} is in <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code> (<code><{{var|english}}></code>) instead of <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki></code> (<code><{{var|kanji/kana}}></code>). To resolve this error, add the missing pipe (<code>|</code>) or consider using {{tlx|lang}} or {{tlx|transl}}

Because this template uses {{tld|lang}} and {{tlx|transl}} which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:
:{{cl|Lang and lang-xx template errors}} – for error messages emitted by {{tld|lang}}
:{{cl|Transl template errors}} – for error messages emitted by {{tld|transl}}

== See also ==
* {{tlp|Lang-ja|...}},{{tlp|lang|ja|...}}, similar templates in the [[:Category:Lang-x templates|Lang-x template]] for marking up Japanese text
* {{tl|Nihongo3}}, essentially the same as this template, but gives rōmaji first and English inside the parentheses
* {{tl|Nihongo2}}, also displays the kanji properly, but without adding anything in parentheses, without rōmaji and without the extra parameters
* {{tl|Nihongo foot}}, same as this version, but puts everything but the English into a footnote
* {{tlp|in lang|ja}}, to label sources written in Japanese
* {{tl|Japanese}}, to request expert assistance with Japanese script
