Juveniles of a rare callanthiid fish genus Grammatonotus are described based on six specimens (18.6-22.8 mm SL) from Tosa Bay, Pacific coast off Shikoku Island, Japan; the occurrence represents the first record of Grammatonotus juveniles from the northern Pacific. Although we could not determine their certain species name, they were most probably identical with G. surugaensis, based on geographic distribution and osteological characters. The characters useful for identification of the juveniles of Grammatonotus are discussed with other Grammatonotus juvenile specimens from other areas.
