In Japanese, the gulls proper are known as カモメ kamome, written with the Chinese character 鴎. By itself, kamome refers to Larus canus. The best-known gull in Japan, however, is not called a kamome at all, going instead by the name ウミネコ (海猫) or 'sea cat' after its distinctive cry. Such is the power of names that many Japanese perceive kamome and umi-neko to be different types of bird, unlike English where they are simply regarded as different types of sea gull.
For other species, names are supplemented by descriptors relating to physical appearance or geographical range. Some seem to be from English (e.g., 'great black-headed gull'), but many appear to have been developed systematically and independently.
The terns are known as アジサシ aji-sashi, written with the characters 鯵刺'horse-mackerel stabber', It is not clear whether this is the true etymology or a later folk etymology, and in the tables アジサシ aji-sashi is glossed simply as 'tern'.
The marsh terns are distinguished in Japanese usage as クロハラアジサシ kuro-hara aji-sashi 'black-bellied tern'.
Note
With the breakup of the Larus argentatus (Herring Gull) complex, it is difficult to get clear information on the distribution or naming of species. In the species table below, the species occurring in Japan are tentatively treated as Larus fuscus (L. f. heuglini) and L. smithsonianus.

Larus fuscus includes Larus fuscus heuglini. Depending on the taxonomy, many sources list Larus heuglini as a separate species. Names include:
乌黑银鸥
(烏黑銀鷗)
'black silver-gull' (35)
灰林银鸥
(灰林銀鷗)
'Huilin's silver-gull' (huilin literally 'grey forest') (3)
灰林鸥

Larus fuscus includes Larus fuscus heuglini. Internet sources propose the following as names for Larus heuglini:
(灰林银鸥)

'Huilin's silver-gull' (huilin literally 'grey forest')
(灰林银鸥)
灰林銀鷗
'Huilin's silver-gull' (huilin literally 'grey forest')
Larus fuscus includes Larus fuscus heuglini. Some Internet sources propose the following for Larus heuglini:
ホイグリンカモメ
(ホイグリン鴎)
hoigurin kamome
'Heuglin's gull'
Larus fuscus includes Larus fuscus heuglini. As an independent species the following name is given for Larus heuglini:
Chim Mòng biển Heuglin
'Heuglin's sea gull (bird)' (33)
In classing the Asian herring gulls as Larus smithsonianus (with subspecies L. s. vegae and L. s. mongolicus), Howard and Moore run counter to every existing Chinese naming system. Very few sources even have a name for Larus smithsonianus. Here we've adopted Larus argentatus as per traditional naming. More recent sources give names for L. vegae and L. mongolicus. They include:
Larus vegae:
西伯利亚银鸥
(西伯利亞銀鷗)
'Siberian silver-gull' (2), (4), (35)
织女银鸥
(織女銀鷗)
'weaving girl (=Vega) silver-gull' (3)
织女鸥
(織女鷗)
'weaving girl gull' (alt in 3)
Larus mongolicus:
红脚银鸥
(紅腳銀鷗)
'red-legged silver-gull' (7)
蒙古银鸥
(蒙古銀鷗)
'Mongolian silver-gull' (35)
In classing the Asian herring gulls as Larus smithsonianus (with subspecies L. s. vegae and L. s. mongolicus), Howard and Moore run counter to the existing Taiwanese naming system. As of 2014, the Chinese Wild Bird Federation still lists Larus argentatus as the relevant species occuring in Taiwan. For L. vegae, some Internet sites propose the following name:
Larus vegae:
(织女银鸥)
織女銀鷗
'weaving girl (=Vega) silver-gull'
In classing the Asian herring gulls as Larus smithsonianus (with subspecies L. s. vegae and L. s. mongolicus), Howard and Moore run counter to the existing Japanese naming system. Here we use the original naming for L. argentatus. Subspecies are as follows:
Larus argentatus vegae:
セグロカモメ
(背黒鴎)
se-guro kamome
'black-backed gull'
Larus argentatus smithsonianus:
アメリカセグロカモメ
(アメリカ背黒鴎)

'American black-backed gull'
H. Hiraizumi's Birding Page: 日本産鳥類目録改訂第7版(日本鳥学会,2012)
In classing the Asian herring gulls as Larus smithsonianus (with subspecies L. s. vegae and L. s. mongolicus), Howard and Moore run counter to existing naming systems. Korean bird lists contain a name for Larus argentatus smithsonianus, which is adopted here, but also have the following names for what Howard and Moore consider subspecies of L. smithsonianus:
L. vegae:
재갈매기
jae-galmaegi
'ash gull'
L. mongolicus:
노랑발갈매기
norang-bal-galmaegi
'yellow-legged gull'
