An immature female of Argulus japonicus Thiele, 1900 was collected from the caudal fin of a freshwater minnow, Opsariichthys platypus (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846), in a brook, Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku, western Japan. This is the second record of A. japonicus from Shikoku and a new prefectural record for the species in Japan.
