The Japanese yellow bunting () is considered to be an endangered species. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of (16,797 bp in length) was determined. The genome consists of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes) and one control region (D-loop), and so is highly similar in architecture to the typical vertebrate mtDNA genome. The base composition of the mtDNA was A (29.9%), C (32.6%), G (14.5%), and T (23.0%), so the percentage of A and T (52.9%) was slightly higher than that of G and C. All the genes in were encoded on the H-strand, except for the genes for the subunit and eight tRNAs, which were encoded on the L-stand. Phylogenetic analysis using Emberizidae mitogenomes revealed that was grouped into the family Emberizidae and that is the most closely related species.
日本黄鹀被认为是一种濒危物种。在此，测定了日本黄鹀完整的线粒体基因组（长度为16,797 bp）。该基因组由37个基因（13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和22个转运RNA基因）和一个控制区（D环）组成，其结构与典型的脊椎动物线粒体DNA基因组高度相似。线粒体DNA的碱基组成为A（29.9%）、C（32.6%）、G（14.5%）和T（23.0%），因此A和T的百分比（52.9%）略高于G和C。日本黄鹀的所有基因都在重链上编码，除了亚基基因和8个tRNA基因，它们在轻链上编码。使用鹀科线粒体基因组进行的系统发育分析表明，日本黄鹀被归入鹀科，并且是与其关系最密切的物种。
