Tabletop role-playing games in Japan

Role-playing games made in Japan made their first appearance during the 1980s. Today, there are hundreds of Japanese-designed games as well as several translated games. Tabletop RPGs are referred to as tabletalk RPGs (テーブルトークRPG, tēburutōku āru pī jī), a wasei-eigo term often shortened as TRPG in Japan to distinguish them from the video role-playing game genre.

This article is about Japanese tabletop RPGs. For Japanese RPG video games, see History of Eastern role-playing video games.
