The Japanese whiptail or Japanese butterfish (Pentapodus nagasakiensis) is a species of marine fish in the coral bream family (Nemipteridae) of order Perciformes. It is native to the western Pacific Ocean.

The maximum recorded size of this species is 20 cm. Its color is tan or yellow grading to white on the belly, often with a pair of yellowish stripes separated by a white band centrally on the sides.[1] Its pelvic fins are moderately long, reaching to or almost to the level of the anus. Lobes of its caudal fin are pointed, and more or less equal in length.
