The sexual pattern of the nine species of labrid fishes collected at the Kuchinoerabu-jima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan is described. Histological evidence shows that all nine species are protogynous hermaphrodites. These are: Anampses geographicus, Thalassoma quinquevittata, T. purpureum, Stethojulis trilineata, Halichoeres scapularis, Hologymnosus annulatus, Xyrichtys dea, X. geisha and Epidulus insidiator. Of these T. purpureum, H. annulatus are diandric. Diandry can not be confirmed in the remaining species because sufficient sample sizes of each species could not be collected at this site
