Kiyoshi Ki mura s tumped up almost three t imes as much a s he did last year
High bids traditionally mark the year's first auction at To kyo's Tsuki ji fish market.
Even the buyer, sushi chain owner Ki yoshi Kimura, who also paid out the record price last year, said the co st was "a bit high".
The sale came amid continued warnings from environmentalists that tuna stocks are dwindling and ov erfished.
'Encou rage Japan'
This year's record-breaking fish was caught off north-eastern Japan and weighed in at 222kg, some 47kg lighter than last year's prize-winner, which fetched 56m yen.
The prices do not necessarily reflect quality or size and are more linked to publicity and setting the tone for the business year.
The auction at the m arket - w hich trades millions of dollars of products daily and is a popular tourist destination - began at 05:00 local time.
Mr Kim ura immediately carted his purchase off to a nearby branch of his Sushi Zanmai chain.
He said he wanted to "encourage Japan" with his bid.
The price works out at about $7,600 per kg.
Japan consumes more than half of the world's bluefin.
New figures to be released on Monday are expected to show a continued decline in Pa cific bluefin stocks.
Ama nda Nickson, of the Pew Environmental Group's glob al t una conservation campaign, told Associated Press news agency: "Everything we're hearing is that there's no good news for the Pacific bluefin. We're seeing a very high value fish continue to be overfished."。
