MOJIKATANA: Learn Japanese

Learn to read and write Japanese by playing.

MOJIKATANA is for people living in Japan who need the characters, not a conversation course. Trainees, specified-skilled workers, students and long-term residents.

**Match, listen, trace**
Line up three of the same character to clear them, and you hear how that character is read. Then trace the stroke order with your finger, in the correct direction.

**112 stages, kana to kanji**
15 stages of hiragana and katakana (92 characters), then kanji by Japanese school year, up to junior high. 2,136 kanji in total — the full list of characters used in daily life in Japan.

**See where you stand**
Each level shows the approximate JLPT level (N5 to N1) and Kanji Kentei grade (10kyu to 2kyu). These are study milestones inside the app, not a guarantee of exam results.

**Six speeds**
Practice, easy, normal, fast, hard and master. Practice mode never ends, so you can stay on one set of characters as long as you like.

**More than a puzzle**
Put sentences in the right order. Choose the picture from sound alone. Learn counters, verb forms and particles. Collect real photographs of famous places, crafts, local food and World Heritage sites as you go.

**Japanese sound and season**
Backgrounds, music and ambient sound change with the season. Readings are recorded in the app.

**Free, and then one payment**
15 kana stages and 4 Grade 1 stages — 19 stages — are free. The remaining 93 stages unlock with a single purchase. Not a subscription. Purchases can be restored.
