❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many kanji are in the JLPT N5 level?
The JLPT N5 level requires knowledge of approximately 80–100 kanji, covering basic characters taught in Japanese elementary school grades 1 and 2.
What is the difference between onyomi and kunyomi readings?
Onyomi (音読み) are the Chinese-derived readings of a kanji, used mainly in compound words. Kunyomi (訓読み) are the native Japanese readings, often used when the kanji stands alone or with hiragana suffixes (okurigana).
How many total kanji are in the Japanese writing system?
The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) lists over 13,000 kanji. The Joyo kanji list for everyday use contains 2,136 characters. Our database covers 13,000+ kanji across all JLPT levels.
What does the stroke count of a kanji mean?
The stroke count is the number of brushstrokes used to write a kanji in standard stroke order. Counts range from 1 (一) to over 80 for the most complex characters. Correct stroke order improves handwriting and memorisation.
How do I use the kanji search on this page?
Type an English meaning (e.g. "river"), a Japanese reading in hiragana or katakana, or paste a kanji character directly into the search box. Results update after 500 ms. Narrow further by JLPT level, stroke count range, and sort order.
Which school grade corresponds to each JLPT level?
Grades 1–2 correspond to JLPT N5, grades 3–4 to N4, grades 5–6 to N3, grades 7–8 to N2, and grade 9 and above (rare and secondary-school kanji) to N1.
