In Japanese, the pelican is known as ペリカン perikan, borrowed from English.

The word ガランチョウ (伽藍鳥) garan-chō ('temple bird'), borrowed from Chinese, survives mainly as an archaic variant.

The common species in Japan is Pelecanus crispus (Dalmatian Pelican). In many Japanese sources, this is identified as Pelecanus philippensis under the Japanese name ハイイロペリカン (灰色ペリカン) hai-iro perikan 'grey pelican'. Other species are mostly vagrants.
