## What is 100 Kanji?

Learn your first 100 kanji the fun, easy way - with Mochi the shiba inu at your side.

100 Kanji turns the first and biggest step of learning Japanese into a gentle daily habit. Bite-size lessons introduce each character with its meaning, readings, and stroke count, then smart quizzes bring it back at just the right moment so it sticks for good.

LEARN THE RIGHT 100
Every one of the 80 official JLPT N5 kanji, plus 20 bonus high-frequency kanji to complete your first hundred - the characters you will actually meet in real signs, menus, and sentences, taught in a friendly order (numbers, days, time, people, everyday verbs). Every meaning and reading is verified against trusted dictionary sources.

QUIZZES THAT KEEP YOU HONEST
- Recognition: see a kanji, pick its meaning
- Reading: match kanji to their on'yomi and kun'yomi
- Real words: read genuine compound words that use the kanji you know
Spaced repetition schedules your reviews so you study what you are about to forget, not what you already know.

MAKE IT A HABIT
Daily streaks, achievements, and a progress grid show how far you have come. Mochi cheers your wins and never scolds a wrong answer.

JAPANESE-ONLY MODE
Ready for immersion? Switch the whole app to Japanese and answer with kana or romaji readings.

YOURS, PRIVATELY
100 Kanji works completely offline. No account, no ads, no tracking - your progress lives only on your device.

Start today. In a few weeks of five-minute sessions, you will read your first hundred kanji - and Mochi will be proud of you.
