Howieite and taneyamalite, manganese rich analogue, were newly found from therteen manganese ore deposits and iron-manganese ore deposits in Shikoku which belongs to Mikabu belt, Northern Chichibu belt and Kurosegawa tectonic belt, and have been metamorphosed into the blueschist facies to actinolite-pumpellyite facies. Howieite and ferroan taneyamalite with greenish black in color occurs as fibrous aggregate in hematite + greenalite + riebeckite + andradite + stilpnomelane + quartz metachert. On the other hand Fe poor taneyamalite with yellowish green to yellow in color occurs as fibrous or stellate aggre-gates in braunite + caryopilite ore, associated with ganophyllite, talc and rhodochrosite. Howieite-taneyamalite series minerals contain up to 8.6wt% MgO and 4wt% Al_2O_3. YONOyama taneyamaite has the highest Mn content, and Hachi howieite is the highest Fe content.
