Type faster, rank higher: your typing speed (WPM) decides which Japanese god you become. Words, sentences, kanji and English prompts grow for free. Climb the ranking.
Kami Typing is a Japanese typing game where your typing speed (WPM) decides your rank among the gods. It is not just a speed drill: the faster you type, the higher you rise, from shrine maiden to the highest deity.
Practice flick input, romaji or kana on the software keyboard, or connect an external keyboard on iPhone and iPad. Every run tells you which god you are right now.

There is one thing I'd like to have the app do. It would be nice to have it alert you to incomplete or incorrectly spelled words. Other than that, it is a good app. I very much dislike the cartoon artwork. The cartoon graphic looks like it came from a low-budget cartoon for pre-school aged kids. It cheapens an otherwise serious and helpful app.
Don’t overlook if your learning Japanese
Quite incredible reviews
Really great app, serves one purpose in your Japanese learning and that is to help you learn the iPhone Japanese keyboard and it’s awesome. Super simple, non invasive ads (even though I believe the $5 is worth it to remove them) and really helps your learning and typing proficiency. Would recommend
Good

- VoiceOver reads each badge's condition and your current progress.
- When the app is shown in English, Korean or Chinese, the remaining Japanese text in the Gem Shop, past topics, Repeat Drill, Ranking and other screens is now translated.
