Email a correction

Send feedback to [email protected]. Required fields are marked. The button prepares a draft in your email app; review the report and send it there. You can also copy or download the full report.

Prefer an official source, dictionary, survey methodology, or institutional reference that directly supports the requested change.

Before reporting

  • A different kanji spelling may legitimately have a different reading or meaning; quote the exact variant.
  • A dictionary gloss describes a character, not necessarily a bearer's intended whole-name meaning.
  • A survey result is limited to its stated year and sample; a newer unsourced list does not automatically supersede it.
  • Do not include private personal information. Copied or downloaded text may become visible wherever you choose to share it.

Current delivery status

Email reports to [email protected]. The form opens a draft in your email app; you must press Send there. If you use webmail, copy the report and paste it into a new message. Opening a draft is not a delivery receipt. Check your email app for sending errors and replies.

What happens after a report

  1. Step 1

    Reproduce the claim

    The page, exact text or field, and linked sources are identified before an editorial change is considered.

  2. Step 2

    Check evidence scope

    The proposed source must directly support the requested field and is recorded with its limitations.

  3. Step 3

    Review dependencies

    Related name pages, meaning collections, generator links, metadata, and sitemaps are checked when affected.

  4. Step 4

    Publish only after gates pass

    A correction is not live until data, type, build, static SEO, and relevant browser checks succeed.

Review begins after the email reaches the support inbox. Include the affected page and supporting evidence. Follow up in the same email conversation if more information is needed; a proposed change is not guaranteed to be adopted.

Form privacy

The form prepares the report in your browser. Copying and downloading do not send its fields to JapanNames. Opening an email draft passes the report to your chosen email application. Sending it shares the report and your sender address with [email protected] and the email providers involved. Include only information needed to review the issue. Do not send private details about name bearers.
