Highlights

• Few studies have focused on socioeconomic inequalities in mortality in Japan, as there is currently no suitable national database for such analysis.
• We connected national census and death record data using deterministic linkage.
• The sample population and complete registry had similar demographic distributions, but we found some discrepancies such as an overestimation in the younger generations.
• Educational mortality inequalities increased between the 2000s and 2010s in Japan.
• The linked mortality data provide new estimates for assessing mortality inequalities but the estimates should be interpreted carefully.
