Frequently asked questions

What is a kana chart?

It lays out the two Japanese syllabaries — hiragana and katakana — as a grid of consonant rows and vowel columns, with the romaji reading for each character, so you can see the whole writing system at a glance.

Are the charts free and searchable?

Yes. Every chart is free, needs no account, and filters instantly as you type — by romaji, hiragana, or katakana — so you can jump straight to the character you want.
