We just shipped a brand new feature: Kana Review — now live at onikanji.com/kana-review.
Whether you're a complete beginner still memorizing the Japanese alphabets or a returning learner who needs a quick refresher, this one's for you.
What's Included
Reference Charts
A clean, interactive chart covering all hiragana and katakana characters:
- Base characters — the core 46 hiragana and 46 katakana
- Dakuten (濁点) — voiced variations like が, ざ, だ, ば
- Handakuten (半濁点) — the ぱ行 characters
Click any character to hear its pronunciation instantly. It's a handy reference you can keep coming back to.
Kana Quiz
A multiple-choice quiz to actually test your recall:
- A kana character appears on screen and you pick the correct romanization from four options
- Fully customizable — choose which character sets to include (hiragana, katakana, dakuten, handakuten, or any combination)
- Instant feedback on each answer
- Results screen with your score and time at the end
It's fast, low-pressure, and great for daily warm-ups before jumping into kanji reviews.
Why We Built This
We've always recommended that learners lock in hiragana and katakana before starting kanji. But until now, we were sending people elsewhere to do that. It felt like a gap in the experience.
Now the whole journey — from your first あ to your 2,000th kanji — lives under one roof.
How to Access It
You'll find Kana in the navigation bar between Kanji and Immersion Hub. No subscription required — it's free for everyone.
