Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a pair of external electrodes;
• a first internal electrode that is coupled to one of the pair of external electrodes;
• a dielectric layer that is stacked on the first internal electrode and contains BaTiO3 and Ni;
• and
• a second internal electrode that is stacked on the dielectric layer, contains Ni, and is coupled to another one of the pair of external electrodes, wherein
• Ni is contained in five regions, and a Ni concentration in at least one of end regions located closest to the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode among the five regions is greater than a Ni concentration in a central region of the five regions by 10% or more, the five regions being obtained by dividing a region of the dielectric layer equally into five in a stacking direction, the region of the dielectric layer being located from a location 50 nm away from the first internal electrode to a location 50 nm away from the second internal electrode in the stacking direction between the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode.
