## What is KanjiForge?

Turn your name — or any word — into authentic Japanese kanji, instantly.

KanjiForge takes the name you type and forges it into real kanji characters, each chosen for its sound and meaning. Pick a style, watch it come together, and share the result as a beautiful artwork.

FEATURES

• Your name in kanji — every character is a real kanji with a real reading, never random scribbles.

• Multiple styles — Samurai (bold and honorable), Ninja (dark and silent), Sushi (a playful fish-radical joke mode), and Street (a bold decorative style).

• Meaning for every character — see what each kanji means and how it is read.

• Stroke order — watch how each character is written, stroke by stroke.

• AR tattoo preview — project your kanji onto your skin with the camera to see how it would look.

• Save & share — export your forged name as a clean image for your wallpaper or socials.

• History — every name you forge is saved privately on your device.

• Works offline — conversion runs entirely on your device. No account, no sign-up.

Samurai and Ninja styles are free. Sushi and Street can be unlocked one forge at a time by watching a short ad.

Whether you want your name as a tattoo idea, a profile picture, a gift, or just for fun — KanjiForge gives you a name you can actually read and understand.
