Template Documentation

{{Nihongo|<1>|<2>|<3>|<4>}} yields: <1> (<2>, <3>^?, <4>)

<1> is rendered in Kurokane font.
<2> (optional) is enclosed in a pair of parentheses that follow <1>. A superscripted question mark is appended to <2>; it links to wikipedia:Help:Multilingual support (East Asian) and helps readers with character set issues.
<3> (optional) follows <2>, rendered italic.
<4> (optional) follows <3>, indicating a literal translation.

This template is suitable for following occasions:

Just pass a piece of text as <1>, if you just want it to be rendered in Kurokane. (This Kurokane word is made from {{Nihongo|Kurokane}}.) As the body text font used on Rhythm Heaven Wiki doesn't support heavier font weight, this template is a widely-used workaround to make a piece of text bold.
Pass an English name as <1>, a Japanese name as <2>, its rōmaji as <3> and its meaning as <4>. This is the usage recommended by Template:Nihongo on Wikipedia.
- Example: {{Nihongo|Karate Man|カラテ家|Karateka}}
- Output: Karate Man (カラテ家, Karateka^?).
- Example: {{Nihongo|Rhythm Heaven Fever|みんなのリズム天国|Minna no Rhythm Tengoku|Everyone's Rhythm Heaven}}
- Output: Rhythm Heaven Fever (みんなのリズム天国, Minna no Rhythm Tengoku^?, Everyone's Rhythm Heaven)
Pass a Latin transcription as <1>, a CJK name as <2> and its meaning as <4>, leaving <3> blank.
- Example: {{Nihongo|Jiézòu Tiānguó: Qíjì Zhī Xīng|节奏天国奇迹之星||Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars}}
- Output: Jiézòu Tiānguó: Qíjì Zhī Xīng (节奏天国奇迹之星^?, Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars)
