正直 is honesty. It means being honest, frank and direct. It can also mean honestly, to be frank. The word for an honest person, a person of integrity, is 正直者 (shōjikimono).

The Japanese word 正直 meaning "Integrity" is composed of the kanji 正 (read shō) meaning "correct; justice; righteous" and 直 (read jiki) meaning "honesty; frankness; repair".
