Abstract:	This paper has developed a prototype of a tool to detect specific comments. With the prototype, you can use regular expressions, describe patterns of detected strings in a configuration file, and then detect specific comments. The prototype was applied to projects with 5,000 LOC (Lines of Code) or more. As a result, the recall rate achieved 100% and the precision rate achieved 80%. Reducing improper comments and comments detected by the prototype which express tasks remaining in the source code can improve understandability of the source code.
