## What is InkDojo?

Learn to write Japanese kanji the way it is actually written — one stroke at a time, in the right order, with the right endings.

Most apps check whether you drew the right shape. InkDojo checks how you drew it. Trace each stroke from the blue dot and it is judged on start point, end point, shape and length. The model strokes are drawn with real brush endings —
the stops (tome), hooks (hane) and sweeps (harai) that make handwriting look Japanese.

WHAT YOU GET
• JLPT N5 (103 kanji) — free, forever
• JLPT N4 (181 kanji), N3 (342 kanji) and N2 (362 kanji) — Premium

LEARN TO WRITE
• Four steps: watch the demo, trace with a guide, trace the faint outline, then take the test on a blank square
• Stroke-by-stroke feedback on every stroke you draw
• Trace a kanji, then prove it: a from-memory test the next day — write it without being shown a stroke to earn its star, and any kanji you stumble on comes back for another try
• A real example word for every kanji, spoken aloud — hear 先生 as a word, not as a list of readings
• English meanings and on/kun readings for every character, read aloud on request, with optional romaji

SEARCH
• Search in romaji or plain English — type "mizu" or "water" to find 水, or a word with okurigana like 学ぶ to find 学
• Paste a Japanese sentence to see the JLPT level of each kanji in it, then trace them in the order they appear

STAY ON TRACK
• A daily goal, a streak, and a treasure box of 98 collectibles that fills as you trace
• Reminders scheduled on your device, so you know when a test is waiting
• Up to four learner profiles on one device

BUILT FOR PRACTICE, NOT MEMORISING
Writing a character by hand is what makes it stick. InkDojo is a practice board, not a flashcard deck: you draw every stroke yourself, and the app tells you exactly which stroke needs another try.

PRIVACY
Your learning data stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded, synced or tracked.

ABOUT JLPT LEVELS
InkDojo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Japan Foundation, JEES, or any official JLPT administering organization. JLPT is a trademark of its respective owner. No official kanji list is published for the current N1–N5 levels; the groupings here follow the pre-2010 test levels and the mapping commonly used by learners, so treat them as a study guide rather than an official list.

DATA SOURCES
Kanji shapes and stroke order from KanjiVG (CC BY-SA 3.0). Meanings, readings and level membership from KANJIDIC2 (EDRDG, CC BY-SA 4.0). Example word translations from JMdict/EDICT (EDRDG, CC BY-SA 4.0). Full credits are in the app under Settings → Credits & Licenses.

PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION
Premium unlocks JLPT N4, N3 and N2 and is offered as a monthly or an annual plan. Payment is charged to your store account when the purchase is confirmed, and the
subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your store's subscription settings.
