KakiKata: Learn Kanji Writing

Learn to write Japanese kanji by hand, from memory, with the correct stroke order. KakiKata is a kanji writing app for anyone learning Japanese. You write every stroke with a finger or a stylus, and handwriting recognition checks each stroke as you go, so a wrong habit never gets the chance to set in. It covers all 2,136 jōyō kanji, from the ones you meet at JLPT N5 all the way to N1. Your handwriting appears like ink on paper, so writing practice feels like the real thing. Learning a new kanji Most kanji apps only ask you to recognize characters. KakiKata is built around writing them. Every lesson starts with you tracing a new character, and the guidance fades little by little until you can write the kanji from memory in your own hand. Do that enough and the stroke order turns into muscle memory. See exactly where your writing went wrong Write a stroke out of order, or one stroke too many? KakiKata replays your handwriting next to the correct version and highlights any strokes that are out of place, so you can fix your stroke order on the next try. Writing from memory Reviews challenge you to write the character from memory, given only its meaning and readings, and you find out straight away if you got it right. Being able to recognize a kanji and being able to write it are two different skills, and reviews train the writing. Our spaced repetition system brings each kanji back right before you’d forget it. You can see what’s due over the coming week, and KakiKata will remind you when reviews are waiting. Levels The jōyō kanji come in short levels, in JLPT order. Once you know most of the kanji in a level, you unlock the next one. Each character moves through five mastery stages, from Initiate to Master, and the Progress tab shows how far you’ve come. Every character in one place The app lists all 2,136, each with its meanings, on’yomi and kun’yomi readings, stroke order playback and handwriting practice. Open any one to revisit it or practice writing it on its own, whenever you like. Free to start Your first 99 kanji are free and include every kanji on the JLPT N5 list.
