Sepiella japonica (Mollusca, Cephalopoda, Decapoda, Sepiidae, Sepiella) is a common species of cuttlefish, largely distributed across the coastal waters of China, Japan and Indonesia as well as in many parts of the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea (Liu et al., 2019).

The Japanese spineless cuttlefish Sepiella japonica(family Sepiidae) is distributed in the East China Sea including southern Japan (Okutani, 2005) and is an important fisheries resource in Japanese coastal areas. The species grows to about 18 cm in mantle length during its lifespan of one year (Natsukari & Tashiro, 1991).
