Learn kanji on the go


Learn to recognise, read and write Japanese kanji characters with iKanji touch. Study on the go with the built-in tests, use the spaced repetition based Teach Me system to learn new kanji and quickly look up characters with the powerful search mechanism.


Track your process

iKanji touch uses a simple visual system to help you keep track of how well you know your kanji. Based on how you do in the Teach Me mode over time, kanji will be placed into one of 5 groups. Group 1 is kanji you've either not tested or keep getting wrong, group 5 is kanji you consistently get right in the tests over a long period of time. The more green you see the better you're doing!

Keep the fox happy

iKanji touch's mascot, Tsutsune the fox

Tsutsune is the little fox you can see in the top right of iKanji touch's interface. He keeps a watch over you while you're studying. He'll get happier as you get questions correct or annoyed when you do badly. He offers encouragement or a verbal prod on the test results screen. You can even choose whether he speaks in English or Japanese!
