Learn Japanese by hand with
Nazoru
Trace hiragana, katakana, and kanji until they stick — then recall them from memory. Sync with WaniKani, Bunpro, and Anki, or learn on your own, at your own pace.
A calmer way to practice writing
Trace, Then Recall
Start by tracing over a guide, which fades step by step as you practice — until you are writing it from memory, entirely on your own.
Exposed Kanji
Sync with WaniKani, Bunpro, Anki, and more, and Nazoru centers your practice on the kanji you have actually encountered — what you have recently seen, and what needs attention next.
Follow Your Own Path
Prefer to start from scratch? Build your own route in the Paths tab. You are never locked into one system — practice from what you have seen, follow a path, or move between both.
Memory Strength
See when a character is starting to fade at a glance. Fading kanji come up first, so you review what needs attention most before it slips away.
Tell Look-Alikes Apart
Practice similar, easy-to-confuse kanji side by side, so you notice the small differences and stop mixing them up.
No Pressure, Your Pace
No forced streaks and no overwhelming review piles. Practice when you want, at your own pace, with no one else's schedule to keep up with.
