This template is used to display a headword-line for a Japanese noun. It should be used beneath a ===Noun=== header. Do not use this for proper nouns, which require {{ja-pos}} and go under a ===Proper noun=== header.

The template automatically categorizes the entry into Category:Japanese nouns.

The entry is automatically added to Category:Japanese hiragana or Category:Japanese katakana as the case may be.

|1= and |2=, |3= ...

The kana forms of the word, with transliteration markups.

• In kana-titled entries, this parameter is optional. It can be used to provide transliteration markups, hiragana-katakana variant form, or links in the headword.
• In entries whose titles are not pure kana, this parameter is required. Unlike in kana-titled entries, hiragana-katakana variant form and links in this parameter will be ignored. For links, use |head= instead.

Important: Template:ja-pos use a slightly different format. |1= is POS ("adverb", etc). All kana forms come after it starting from |2=.

|rom= (optional) and |rom2=, |rom3= ...

Manual transliteration that overrides the automatically generated ones.

|head= (optional) and |head2=, |head3= ...

Overrides the non-kana form used with the corresponding kana form to generate the displayed ruby headword. It may contain links and some ruby markups. This parameter has no effect in kana-titled entries.

|label= (optional) and |label2=, |label3= ...

A label to be displayed beside the corresponding displayed headword. E.g. |label2=less common.

|hist= (optional) and |hist2=, |hist3= ...

Historical kana forms.

|count= (optional)

The counter for the noun. Use |count=- for uncountable.

For the noun 藍色:

{{ja-noun|あい.いろ}}

Output:

For the entry パソコン:

{{ja-noun|count=台}}

Output:
