記載
記載 30초 만에
- 記載 (kisai) is a formal Japanese word meaning 'to record' or 'to mention' in a document.
- It is commonly found on application forms, contracts, receipts, and in official manuals.
- Unlike the casual word 'kaku,' 記載 implies an official entry or a systematic record of data.
- It is used as a noun or a suru-verb, often seen in the passive form 'kisai sarete iru.'
The Japanese word 記載 (きさい, kisai) is a formal term that translates to 'mention,' 'entry,' 'statement,' or 'record' in a document. While the common verb kaku (to write) is used in everyday life for everything from scribbling a note to writing a letter, 記載 is reserved for the official or systematic recording of information. Imagine you are filling out a passport application, reading a contract, or looking at a product manual; the information you see there is not just 'written,' it is 'recorded' or 'stated'—that is 記載. This word implies a level of permanence and officiality. It is composed of two kanji: 記 (ki), meaning 'scribe' or 'record,' and 載 (sai), meaning 'to place upon' or 'to publish.' Together, they describe the act of placing information onto a medium, typically paper or a digital record, for the purpose of documentation. In a business context, if a manager asks if a specific clause is 'mentioned' in the contract, they would use 記載. It is a 'suru-verb,' meaning you can add suru to make it the action of recording something.
- Formal Context
- Used in legal documents, application forms, and official manuals to denote that information has been officially entered.
- Passive Usage
- Often used in the form 'kisai sarete iru' (is mentioned/recorded) to describe the state of a document.
この契約書に記載されている内容は非常に重要です。(Kono keiyakusho ni kisai sarete iru naiyou wa hijou ni juuyou desu.) - The contents mentioned in this contract are very important.
When you encounter this word, think of a 'formal entry.' If you are at a city hall in Japan, the staff might point to a form and say, 'Please check the items recorded here.' They aren't just talking about handwriting; they are talking about the data points that constitute the legal record. This distinction is vital for English speakers because we often use 'write' or 'put' loosely. In Japanese, using 記載 signals that you understand the administrative nature of the task. It is also frequently paired with nouns like jikou (matters/items) to form kisai jikou (items mentioned). This phrase is ubiquitous on forms. Furthermore, in the digital age, 記載 is used for information 'listed' on a website's 'About Us' or 'Terms of Service' pages. Even though it's not physical paper, the 'official' nature of the text warrants the use of this word.
必要事項を記載して、窓口に出してください。(Hitsuyou jikou o kisai shite, madoguchi ni dashite kudasai.) - Please fill in the necessary items and submit them to the counter.
ホームページに記載の通り、営業時間は9時からです。(Houmupieeji ni kisai no toori, eigyou jikan wa kuji kara desu.) - As stated on the website, business hours start from 9:00.
- Etymology
- The kanji 載 is also used in 'keizai' (publish/carry a story), highlighting the public or official nature of the record.
In summary, 記載 is the backbone of Japanese administrative language. It bridges the gap between the physical act of writing and the legal act of documenting. Whether you are reading a menu that says 'Tax included as mentioned' or a government census, this word ensures that the information is treated as a formal record. Understanding 記載 is a step toward mastering formal Japanese communication, moving beyond the simple verbs of a beginner to the precise vocabulary of a proficient speaker.
Using 記載 (kisai) correctly requires an understanding of its grammatical flexibility and its specific register. It primarily functions as a noun, but by adding the auxiliary verb suru, it transforms into a transitive verb meaning 'to record' or 'to enter.' Because it is a formal word, it is most frequently found in the passive voice—kisai sareru (to be recorded)—when referring to information already present in a document. For example, when you are looking for your name on a list, you wouldn't say your name is 'writing' there; you would say your name is 'recorded' there: Namae ga kisai sarete iru. This usage is polite and standard for business settings. Another common structure is 'Noun + no kisai,' such as juusho no kisai (the entry of the address). This is often used to refer to the specific part of a form where that information belongs.
- Active Form
- 申込書に氏名を記載する。(Moushikomisho ni shimei o kisai suru.) - To enter one's name on the application form.
- Passive Form
- 詳細は別紙に記載されています。(Shouzai wa besshi ni kisai sarete imasu.) - Details are mentioned on the attached sheet.
誤った情報が記載されています。(Ayamatta jouhou ga kisai sarete imasu.) - Incorrect information is recorded.
One of the most powerful ways to use 記載 is in the compound kisai naiyou (the contents of the entry). This is used when you are discussing the validity or the accuracy of what has been written. For instance, 'Please confirm the recorded contents' would be Kisai naiyou o go-kakunin kudasai. This is a standard phrase used by bank tellers, retail staff, and government officials. It is more professional than saying 'what is written.' Furthermore, 記載 is often used in the negative to indicate an omission. Kisai ga nai means 'there is no mention' or 'it is not listed.' If a menu doesn't list the price of a seasonal dish, you might say Nedan no kisai ga nai. This sounds much more sophisticated than simply saying 'the price isn't written.'
パンフレットに記載の金額は、税込みです。(Panfuretto ni kisai no kingaku wa, zeikomi desu.) - The amount mentioned in the brochure includes tax.
履歴書には正確な経歴を記載してください。(Rirekisho ni wa seikaku na keireki o kisai shite kudasai.) - Please record an accurate background on your resume.
- Common Compound
- 記載漏れ (Kisai-more) - An omission in the record/entry.
Finally, consider the nuances of 'entry' in a digital context. When you fill out an online form, the button might say Kisai suru or Touroku suru (register). 記載 focuses on the specific text you are putting into the fields. If you are a developer or a content creator, you might use 記載 when referring to the documentation within your code or the logs of a system. It provides a sense of authority and clarity that 'writing' lacks. By mastering these patterns, you can navigate Japanese bureaucracy and business with confidence, ensuring that your language matches the formal requirements of the situation.
You will encounter 記載 (kisai) in a variety of real-world scenarios in Japan, most of which involve some form of official documentation or public information. One of the most common places is at the City Hall (Kuyakusho/Shiyakusho). When you move to a new area or need to update your residence card, the forms you fill out will invariably use the word 記載. The staff will ask you to 'Check the recorded items' or 'Complete the entry of your address.' In this environment, 記載 acts as the standard verb for any data entry on paper. Another very frequent location is in Transportation. If you look at the back of a JR train ticket or a bus pass, the terms and conditions will start with 'The conditions mentioned here...' (Koko ni kisai no jouken...). Similarly, on flight itineraries, the departure times and gate numbers are referred to as kisai jikou.
- Public Announcements
- Train stations often have posters stating that schedules are 'as mentioned' on the official website.
- Shopping/Retail
- Invoices and receipts use 'kisai' to refer to the itemized list of goods and their prices.
チケットに記載された座席番号を確認してください。(Chiketto ni kisai sareta zaseki bangou o kakunin shite kudasai.) - Please confirm the seat number recorded on the ticket.
In the Corporate World, 記載 is a daily necessity. During meetings, when referring to a PowerPoint slide or a printed handout, a presenter might say, 'As mentioned in the third paragraph of page five...' using kisai. It is also the word used for 'disclaimer' sections in emails or marketing materials. If a company sends out a newsletter, the fine print at the bottom regarding privacy policies will use 記載. Furthermore, in Academic and Technical settings, manuals for electronics or software documentation rely heavily on this word. If you are troubleshooting a device, the manual will say 'If the error code mentioned below appears...' (Kaki ni kisai no eraa koodo ga...). It provides a specific, unambiguous reference to the text.
マニュアルの記載事項をよく読んでください。(Manyuaru no kisai jikou o yoku yonde kudasai.) - Please read the items mentioned in the manual carefully.
この書類には、住所の記載がありません。(Kono shorui ni wa, juusho no kisai ga arimasen.) - There is no mention of an address in this document.
- News/Media
- Journalists use 'kisai' when referring to statements found in government reports or white papers.
Finally, consider the Medical Field. When you receive a prescription (shohousen), the dosage and instructions are the kisai naiyou. Doctors and pharmacists use this term to ensure there is no misunderstanding about the written record. In essence, anywhere there is a formal relationship between a provider of information and a recipient, 記載 is the tool used to point to that information. Whether you are a tourist looking at a museum brochure or a resident signing a lease, hearing and seeing 記載 is a sign that you are dealing with official, reliable information.
While 記載 (kisai) is a versatile word, English speakers often struggle with its formal boundaries and confuse it with similar-sounding or similar-meaning words. The most frequent mistake is using 記載 in a casual context. For example, if you are writing a note to a roommate saying 'I'll be home late,' you should never use 記載. That would sound like you are filing an official report about your arrival time. In casual situations, always stick to kaku (to write). Another common error is confusing 記載 with 記入 (kinyuu). While both involve writing on a form, kinyuu specifically refers to the act of 'filling out' or 'filling in' blanks. 記載 is broader—it refers to the information being present or mentioned anywhere in the document, not just in a blank field you filled in.
- Kisai vs. Kinyuu
- Kinyuu is the 'action' of filling a blank. Kisai is the 'state' of information being recorded or the 'official act' of recording it.
- Kisai vs. Kijutsu
- Kijutsu (description) is used for longer, descriptive writing like an essay or a detailed explanation. Kisai is for data points and specific mentions.
❌ 友達へのメールに記載しました。(Incorrect for casual email.)
✅ 友達へのメールに書きました。(Correct: I wrote it in an email to a friend.)
Another nuance is the difference between 記載 and 掲載 (keizai). This is a very common point of confusion. Keizai is used when an article, advertisement, or photo is 'published' or 'carried' in a newspaper, magazine, or on a website. 記載 is about the specific text or data within that publication. For example, a newspaper might keizai (publish) an article, and within that article, the names of the suspects are kisai (recorded/mentioned). Using keizai for filling out a form is a major error. Similarly, don't confuse 記載 with 登録 (touroku), which means 'registration.' You kisai your name on a form to touroku for a service.
❌ フォームに名前を掲載してください。(Incorrect: 'Publish' your name on the form.)
✅ フォームに名前を記載してください。(Correct: 'Record/Enter' your name on the form.)
❌ 日記に今日の出来事を記載した。(Too formal for a diary.)
✅ 日記に今日の出来事を書いた。(Correct: Wrote today's events in a diary.)
- Grammar Note
- Remember that 記載 is a noun. When using it as a verb, you must use the 'suru' particle. Saying 'Kisai shite' (please record) is the correct imperative form.
To avoid these mistakes, always ask yourself: 'Is this an official record?' and 'Am I referring to the data itself or the act of putting it there?' If it's data in a formal document, 記載 is likely the right choice. If you are just talking about the physical act of writing or a casual exchange of information, stick to simpler terms. Precision is highly valued in Japanese culture, and using the correct 'writing' verb shows a high level of cultural and linguistic competence.
Japanese has many words for 'writing' and 'recording,' each with its own nuance. Understanding how 記載 (kisai) compares to its synonyms will help you choose the most natural expression for any situation. The most basic alternative is 書く (kaku). This is the 'all-purpose' verb. If you are unsure, kaku is usually safe, but it lacks the professional weight of 記載. Another close relative is 記入 (kinyuu). As mentioned before, kinyuu is specifically for 'filling in' blanks on a form. If a form has a box for your phone number, the act of putting your number in that box is kinyuu. However, the fact that your number is now 'mentioned' on the form is 記載.
- 記載 (Kisai) vs. 記入 (Kinyuu)
- Kisai: Focuses on the record/mention. Kinyuu: Focuses on the act of filling in a specific space.
- 記載 (Kisai) vs. 記述 (Kijutsu)
- Kisai: For facts, data, and items. Kijutsu: For descriptions, explanations, and prose.
この欄に名前を記入してください。(Please fill in your name in this column.)
この書類には名前が記載されています。(Your name is recorded in this document.)
Then there is 掲載 (keizai), which we touched on. Remember: keizai is for publishing in media (newspapers, websites, magazines). If you are talking about an ad in a magazine, use keizai. If you are talking about the text of the ad, use 記載. Another interesting alternative is 登録 (touroku). This means 'registration' or 'entry into a system.' While 記載 is about the text on the page, touroku is about the inclusion of that data into a database or official registry. For example, you kisai your details on a form to touroku your car. Finally, 記録 (kiroku) is a very broad word for 'record.' It can refer to a world record in sports, a historical record, or a log file. 記載 is a subset of kiroku specifically dealing with written/printed mentions.
広告が雑誌に掲載された。(The advertisement was published in the magazine.)
広告に記載された電話番号に掛ける。(Call the number mentioned in the ad.)
世界記録を更新した。(Broke the world record.)
書類の記載内容を確認した。(Confirmed the contents recorded in the document.)
- Summary of Nuance
- Use 'Kaku' for general writing, 'Kinyuu' for filling blanks, 'Kisai' for formal records/mentions, 'Keizai' for publishing media, and 'Kijutsu' for descriptions.
Choosing the right word among these synonyms is a hallmark of an advanced learner. By using 記載 when referring to the text in a manual or a contract, you demonstrate that you respect the formal nature of the document. It shows you aren't just 'writing'—you are 'documenting.' This linguistic precision will make your Japanese sound much more professional and natural in a variety of formal settings.
How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실
The character 載 (sai) is also used in the word for 'year' in very formal contexts (e.g., 十三載), although this is rare today. Its primary use now is for publishing and recording.
발음 가이드
- Pronouncing 'sai' as 'say'. It should rhyme with 'eye'.
- Putting too much stress on the first syllable.
- Confusing the 'ki' sound with 'gi'.
- Making the 'i' at the end too long.
- Pronouncing it as three syllables (ki-sa-i) instead of two fluid ones.
난이도
The kanji 載 is somewhat complex, but the word is very common in daily life.
The kanji 載 has many strokes and is difficult to write by hand for beginners.
Easy to pronounce once you know the pitch, but requires knowing when to use formal register.
Common in announcements and official settings; easy to recognize.

Extremely high in written Japanese, administrative settings, and formal business communication.
-
Using 記載 (kisai) for a personal diary.
→
日記に書く (Nikki ni kaku).
記載 is too formal for personal writing. Using it for a diary sounds like you are treating your personal life as a government record.
-
Using 掲載 (keizai) to fill out a form.
→
フォームに記載する (Foomu ni kisai suru).
掲載 means 'to publish' in a newspaper or website. You don't 'publish' your name on a form; you 'record' or 'enter' it.
-
Using 記載 for a verbal statement.
→
発言する (Hatsugen suru) or 述べる (Noberu).
記載 specifically refers to written or printed records. It cannot be used for something someone said out loud.
-
Confusing 記載 (kisai) with 記者 (kisha).
→
N/A (Kisha means journalist).
They sound similar but are completely different. A 'kisha' (journalist) might 'kisai' (record) facts in an article.
-
Forgetting the 'suru' when using it as a verb.
→
記載する (Kisai suru).
記載 is a noun. To use it as an action, you must add 'suru'. Just saying 'kisai' is like saying 'entry' instead of 'to enter'.
팁
Use it on forms
Whenever you see a box on a Japanese form, think of it as a 'kisai' area. Using this word instead of 'kaku' when asking for help makes you sound like you know the system.
The Passive is Key
In Japanese business, the passive form 'kisai sarete iru' (is recorded) is much more common than the active voice. It avoids sounding like you are blaming a specific person for the record.
Master the strokes
The kanji 載 is hard. Practice it by breaking it down into the 'car' radical (車) and the surrounding components. It's worth learning because it appears in many formal words.
Pair it with 'Jikou'
Memorize the phrase 'kisai jikou' (recorded items). You will see it on 90% of the forms you fill out in Japan. It's a 'set' that works together.
Pitch Accent
Remember the Heiban (flat) pitch. Don't stress the 'KI'. Keep it smooth and professional. This helps you sound more like a native speaker in meetings.
Business Emails
When referring to a previous email or an attachment, 'kisai no toori' is your best friend. It's a standard professional phrase that makes your emails look perfect.
Don't confuse with 'Kinyuu'
Remember: Kinyuu = the pen moving. Kisai = the information existing in the document. This distinction is subtle but important for advanced learners.
Look at receipts
Check your Japanese receipts! Look for the word 記載. It's usually near the tax information or the store's details. It's a great way to see the word in the wild.
Respect the Record
In Japan, what is 'kisai' is often considered final. Be very careful when recording information on legal documents, as the 'kisai' carries significant weight.
Start with recognition
Don't worry about using 'kisai' in speech yet if you're a beginner. Focus on recognizing it on signs and forms first. Recognition is the first step to mastery.
암기하기
기억법
Think of 'KI' as 'Key' and 'SAI' as 'Sign.' You need the 'Key' information to 'Sign' and 'Record' (記載) the document.
시각적 연상
Imagine a formal contract with a golden 'KI' (記) stamp and a 'SAI' (載) seal being placed on it.
Word Web
챌린지
Try to find the word 記載 on three different Japanese websites (like a shop's 'Terms of Service' or a contact form) today.
어원
The word 記載 (kisai) comes from Middle Chinese roots. The first character 記 (ki) originally depicted a mouth and a loom/thread, signifying the 'ordering of words' or 'recording.' The second character 載 (sai) originally depicted a carriage and a tool, signifying 'loading' or 'carrying.'
원래 의미: Originally, the combination referred to 'loading words' onto a medium, such as bamboo slats or paper, for the purpose of preservation.
Sino-Japanese (Kango).문화적 맥락
Be careful when correcting someone's 記載. Use polite forms like 'Kisai ni ayamari ga aru you desu' (It seems there is an error in the record) to avoid being too direct.
In English, we use 'state,' 'mention,' or 'record' depending on the context. 'Stated' is often the best translation for 記載 in contracts.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, 記載 is also used for digital documents, website content, and database entries. As long as the information is being 'recorded' or 'mentioned' in a formal way, 記載 is appropriate. For example, you can use it for the 'Terms of Service' on a website.
Not usually. For writing a book, you would use 'kaku' (to write) or 'shippitsu' (to write/author). 記載 refers more to the specific facts or items recorded *within* the book, rather than the act of authoring it.
記事 (kiji) is a noun meaning 'an article' (like in a newspaper). 記載 (kisai) is the act of recording or a mention itself. You could say that a specific fact is '記載' (recorded) within a '記事' (article).

Yes, but mostly in 'formal' daily life. You will see it on every receipt, train ticket, and government form you encounter in Japan. It's one of those words that you see more than you say.

It means an 'omission.' It is used when a necessary piece of information was forgotten and not recorded on a form or in a document. It's a very common term in offices.
The first kanji is 記 (record) and the second is 載 (load/publish). Be careful with the strokes in 載, as it is quite complex (13 strokes).

Summary
The word 記載 (kisai) is the essential term for 'official entry' in Japanese. Use it when referring to information that is formally written down in documents like contracts or forms. For example: 'Please confirm the recorded contents' (記載内容を確認してください).
- 記載 (kisai) is a formal Japanese word meaning 'to record' or 'to mention' in a document.
- It is commonly found on application forms, contracts, receipts, and in official manuals.
- Unlike the casual word 'kaku,' 記載 implies an official entry or a systematic record of data.
- It is used as a noun or a suru-verb, often seen in the passive form 'kisai sarete iru.'
Use it on forms
Whenever you see a box on a Japanese form, think of it as a 'kisai' area. Using this word instead of 'kaku' when asking for help makes you sound like you know the system.
The Passive is Key
In Japanese business, the passive form 'kisai sarete iru' (is recorded) is much more common than the active voice. It avoids sounding like you are blaming a specific person for the record.
Master the strokes
The kanji 載 is hard. Practice it by breaking it down into the 'car' radical (車) and the surrounding components. It's worth learning because it appears in many formal words.
Pair it with 'Jikou'
Memorize the phrase 'kisai jikou' (recorded items). You will see it on 90% of the forms you fill out in Japan. It's a 'set' that works together.
