Japanese pitch accent

All accent patterns in Japanese may be described as either 平板式(へいばんしき) (heiban-shiki) or 起(き)伏式(ふくしき) (kifuku-shiki). While 起(き)伏式(ふくしき) (kifuku-shiki) is further divided into 頭(あたま)高型(だかがた) (atamadaka-gata), 中高型(なかだかがた) (nakadaka-gata), and 尾(お)高型(だかがた) (odaka-gata), there are no subcategories to 平板式(へいばんしき) (heiban-shiki). When contrasting with 頭(あたま)高型(だかがた) (atamadaka-gata), 中高型(なかだかがた) (nakadaka-gata), or 尾(お)高型(だかがた) (odaka-gata), it is customary to use the word 平板型(へいばんがた) (heiban-gata) to avoid the inconsistency of comparing 型(がた) (-gata) with 式(しき) (-shiki).
