The Japan Stroke Data Bank (http://strokedatabank.ncvc.go.jp) is an ongoing multicenter stroke registry based on a computerized database. It was launched in 1999 supported by the Grant–in–Aid from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and thereafter supported by the Japan Stroke Association. In 2015, management of the data bank was transferred to the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center as a part of projects for domestic registries of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. In this review, we introduced our systemic review for the literature on stroke registries over the world and outlines of the Japan Stroke Data Bank.
