Japanese Military Terms

This page lists the translations that were originally found on the Australia-Japan Research Project (AJRP) database for common Japanese military terms, ranks, and units. Unfortunately, the original page is no longer extant. The glossary includes terms relevant to the military history of Japan during the early to mid-20th century. For similar lists, you can check out Ranks and Military Branches of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy on the Medals of Asia website.

The first five terms in the list use the Japanese phonetic writing system of katakana.¹ The column indicated as “Japanese Term (Traditional)” is done with traditional Kanji characters, while the terms in the next column are identical but use simplified Kanji characters. As an example, the kanji character for ‘country’ in traditional kanji is 國, while the same character in simplified kanji is 国. Take a brief look at lines #192 to 198 for examples. The original AJRP list was done by alphabetizing the Japanese Rōmaji pronunciations.² Since few of us are fluent with Rōmaji, I have done this list by collating the Japanese terms using Chinese Stroke Order. This should make it a little easier. For example, if you are searching for a term that starts with the word “主,” you will find all the terms that start with “主” grouped together (in this case, numbers 32 through 36). I have added line numbers in case you want to make notes of where you found a specific term(s).

There is one problem that I should mention. After World War II, Japan legislated a set of simplified Chinese characters. This list contains those simplified characters. For example, the traditional Chinese word for “country” is 國, while the simplified term is 国.
