manslaughter

Japanese: manslaughter

...In addition, 192 cases (12%) of neonatal murder were included in this homicide. Incidentally, the English word "murder" refers to killing someone with a deliberate intention to kill, while "manslaughter" refers to killing someone through a momentary emotional outburst. In general, homicide is called "homicide." [Toru Kojima]...

From "Murder"

...When intentional murder is further classified as in the case of legislation in other countries, it is classified as a particularly dangerous crime, such as one that is planned, or one whose motive, method, or manner is particularly worthy of blame. In comparison with manslaughter, which is classified as other intentional murders, there are many cases of legislation that imposes a severe punishment, such as the death penalty or life imprisonment. The Japanese Criminal Code does not distinguish between premeditated murder and manslaughter.
