The Novels
Update: 14 August 2000
Five translations of Target novelizations were published by Hayakawa Bunko Publishing in 1980, as part of their line of translated Science Fiction novels.  All of these novels were published under the series title of "Doctor Who Series" (Dokutaa Huu Shiriizu), and each included a number of illustrations (many of which contain some wild inaccurates from the TV Series).

The SF# number refers to their volume number in the Hayakawa Bunko SF Translation series.  The Japanese novel titles often varied greatly from their original title; where I know the Japanese title, I have included a transliteration along with a direct, verbatim translation for comparison.  All images copyright Hayakawa Publishing.

Original Novels
It appears that some of the books in the BBC range of original novels have made their way to bookstores in Japan, in the imported and/or English sections.  They are, of course, untranslated.
