  • 743,670 proper names — people, places, stations, and companies
  • 140,513 pitch accent entries
Kanji

Deeper than ever.

13,108 kanji entries with stroke order animations, decomposition, font variants, and an interactive graph that connects every kanji to the others sharing its components. Find any character by radicals, SKIP, Four Corner code, or handwriting.

  • 6,702 animated stroke order diagrams
  • Kanji Graph Explorer — move through kanji by shared components
  • Radical, SKIP, Four Corner, and handwriting lookup
Analyse

Break down any sentence.

Paste any Japanese text and the Analyser breaks it down word by word — dictionary entries, names, and AI translations. Conjugations are traced back to their base form and linked to the matching grammar lesson. Also works with your camera or any imported PDF.

  • Word-by-word analysis that picks the sense fitting the context
  • Conjugations explained and linked to grammar lessons
  • Live camera text recognition and PDF import
Study

Study smarter.

Start a study session and everything you look at is recorded automatically — pause, resume, add notes, and export it when you are done. Spaced-repetition flashcards schedule your reviews, in both directions, so you remember more with less effort.

  • Study sessions that record what you look up
  • Spaced repetition (SRS) in both directions
  • JLPT, Kanken, Yoji Jukugo, proverb, and idiom decks
Learn

Grammar, kana,
and more.

Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese Grammar is built in, from hiragana basics to advanced constructs, and linked to the words and conjugations you look up. Browse full hiragana and katakana charts, a counters reference, and curated collections of Kanken kanji, four-character idioms, proverbs, and idioms.
