Write Kanji and Kana - Nazoru
Learn Japanese by handwriting
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Practice kana and kanji your way. Sync WaniKani, Bunpro, Anki, or follow your own path in Nazoru. Trace, recall, and study at your pace.
Nazoru helps you practice writing Japanese, whether you want to follow your own path inside the app or practice the kana and kanji you are already seeing in your studies and daily life.
Use Nazoru as a companion to tools like WaniKani, Bunpro, Anki, and more, or start directly in Nazoru with the Paths tab. You are not locked into one study system. You can practice from external exposure, follow a path from scratch, or move between both whenever it makes sense for you.
One of Nazoru’s core ideas is Exposed Kanji: the kanji you have actually encountered in other apps, in words, in phrases, or out in the real world. When you sync with supported study tools, Nazoru can organize practice around what you have recently seen, what you may be getting wrong, and what needs attention next.
Start by tracing each character, then gradually rely less on guides as practice becomes more challenging step by step. Practice hiragana, katakana, kanji, words, or complete phrases, and build confidence as your writing memory gets stronger.
Nazoru helps you focus on what needs attention most. Memory strength shows when a character is starting to fade, and fading kanji are shown first so you can review them before they slip away. You can also practice similar and easy-to-confuse kanji together, making it easier to notice small differences and avoid common mix-ups.
There are no forced daily streaks, no overwhelming review piles, and no pressure to keep up with someone else’s schedule. Nazoru is built so you can practice when you want, at your own pace.

• Practice hiragana, katakana, kanji, words, and full phrases

Nazoru 1.1.0 — Make it yours
This update is all about customization. You can now shape how you practice and how kanji fade to fit the way you learn.
How you practice
• Step Ladders — set how much help each practice starts with and how it climbs to none. Build and save your own.
• Stages — set the Memory Strength (how well a kanji is learned) at which a kanji moves up to the next Stage.
• Stroke Strictness — choose how closely a drawn stroke must match, set separately for each Step Type.
• Canvas — adjust the drawing size and line width.
How kanji fade
• Fading Speed — how fast a kanji's Freshness (how much you'd remember right now) falls: Gentle, Standard, or Brisk.
• Fading Clock — choose what counts as time passing: Practice Days, Opened Days, or Calendar Days.
While you practice
• A new in-session menu lets you change these settings without leaving your practice.
