A single specimen of a percophid fish, Matsubaraea fusiformis (61.1 mm in standard length), was collected in sandy shore of Nobeoka City (32°34′46.56″N, 131° 42′10.08″E), Miyazaki Prefecture, eastern Kyushu, southern Japan. This specimen verifiably represents the first record of the species from the prefecture.
