Army sergeant major and navy sergeant major having been established for the tenth of the eleventh class of 陸海軍大将乃至陸海軍權曹長 established with emperor's reign official administrative order 604th in the ministry of military affairs on September 18, 1870 first. These were classes of the staffs that office and rank and division of duties office work became the set after the fashion of the four ranks of government officials, but it follows it as a rank name of the officers by official rank list revision by the emperor's reign official administrative order 154th on May 8, 1873 and is used and will be applied to the order of the rank name of the Europe modern army.

In Imperial Army, a sergeant major is one of the noncommissioned officers in conjunction with Warrant Officer, a sergeant, a corporal. As for the synchronization soldier, a sergeant was able to be promoted from a corporal at the same time, but there was individual difference in the promotion from a sergeant to a sergeant major. In the class of the public employee, I am the junior official second prize.

I was in charge of the general affairs (including the accounting) of the squadron as one of 中隊附諸官 in the military unit of the time of peace and general affairs took it and were called 給養掛, an accounting department hook (the name is different from a military unit by the times). Mostly minded a post next to Warrant Officer (later warrant officer) whom personnel affairs took and put an abacus using the soldier of the assistant on Hinaga day and arranged a slip and entered it and did it busily, and there was not the opportunity when the soldier of the supply and daily affairs management corps touched it with many sergeants major. When I line up in the office every 10th if there is it, and a salary is handed, I am scolded if the care of the stamp of the receipt is bad. It left in the bulletin which a weekly duty commander of the regiment headquarters hosted by the signal of the blow hard, and it was a duty of the sergeants major every day that received an order. In addition, the person who was not 中隊附 engaged in office work as a clerk in an office of the military unit headquarters (the battalion headquarters, the regiment headquarters) and the high headquarters. It was an article supplied by the government, and the combat uniform was the same as other rank and file, but I hung a long sword (I often allotted a cavalry soldier sword) which called itself a sergeant major sword and wore boots. Because the senior sergeant major depended on wish, and the outside barracks residence was admitted, I stopped that I lived in the private room of squadron barracks till then, and the people who appeared from a barracks, and lodged near a military unit, and got married were often found. Because it takes it to be promoted so that 30 years old passes since an end in twenties and met a sergeant major, I marry late in life for those days. If duty results were bad, promotion was late, and "the peach chestnut three years persimmon eight years feeble-mindedness sergeant was made fun of in a shade by 12 years" and the rank and file. Because I commanded the difficult cooking turn of handling, and the cooking sergeant after the Showa era began had to handle the complicated accounting, I allotted hot stuff, but it was said that the sergeant major promotion was certain when I experienced this.

There was the person to take a second lieutenant candidate examination in the able sergeant major, and to enter the military academy, and to appoint to an active second lieutenant. I was promoted to Warrant Officer if I worked without a fault, but there was the person who did 退営 as a sergeant major, and changed the job in the private enterprise.

I was in charge of 給養 as a member of the squadron conduct group in the wartime organization mainly, but might become a platoon leader when an officer was short [the ^{source required}].

Self-Defense Forces

In the Self-Defense Forces, the sergeant major is the superlative degree of 曹. I am referred to a master sergeant, a chief petty officer, a Senior Master Sergeant each in each land, sea and air Self-Defense Forces. With a warrant officer (associate First Lieutenant, associate lieutenant, associate First Lieutenant), it is the top of 1 曹 (first-class Sergeant Major, first-class Petty Officer, master sergeant). In the Self-Defense Forces, 1 曹 had been assumed rank equivalent to a sergeant major of the old army and a chief petty officer of the old navy as the superlative degree of the noncommissioned officer equivalency rank for a long time, but the rank of the sergeant major was founded (1980) on November 29 in 1980 because a retirement age was extended to 54 years old following a warrant officer having been put for improvement of the personnel affairs use [¹]. Therefore, the sergeant major of the Self-Defense Forces is the rank in the one of the sergeant major and the chief petty officers high rank of the old military, and it may be said that I am equivalent to a sergeant major and the senior airman in the foreign countries armed forces. In addition, there was a plan to abolish warrant officer rank with a new establishment of the "sergeant major" rank in (2012) in 2012, but comes back to the blank paper now in 2016. ^{[The source required]}

It depends on promotion from 1 曹 that a general member is appointed by a sergeant major, but the person who graduates from Defense Academy and a general university, and was appointed a military cadet begins from this rank [²].
