Upeneus guttatus (Day, 1868) (Perciformes: Mullidae) is recorded from Japan for the first time on the basis of 21 specimens (57.8-139.5 mm standard length) collected from Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan. These specimens also represent the first records of U. guttatus from East Asia and the northernmost records in the western Pacific Ocean; this species has not previously been recorded north of the Philippines. The Japanese specimens of U. guttatus, described herein in detail, and 14 specimens from the Indo-West Pacific are compared with 33 specimens of U. japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782).
