About
Japanese Kana Handwriting is a beginner's tool for the Japanese syllabary. Starting from the very first kana, it walks you through writing each one into memory, stroke by stroke.
[Guided handwriting practice]
A grid with faint tracing characters guides every stroke in the right order. Clear the canvas and start over whenever you like. All 46 hiragana are covered one at a time, and the app remembers where you left off.
[Kanji origins and mnemonics]
Every kana shows the kanji it evolved from, along with a memorable association — so you understand the shape instead of memorising it blindly.
[Native pronunciation]
Each kana comes with an audio recording. Tap once to hear it, then say it out loud to get the sound right.
[The complete kana charts]
Hiragana, plus the full voiced (dakuon) and semi-voiced (handakuon) charts. Tap to hear, long-press to copy, look anything up in seconds.
[Practice time tracking]
Your practice time is tracked automatically, so progress is something you can see.
[Multilingual interface]
Available in English, 繁體中文, 한국어 and Tiếng Việt.
No prior Japanese needed — the kana are where everyone starts.
