Kanji Samurai: Build Kanji

Slash, build, and master kanji! A samurai puzzle game that's also JLPT N5-N1 practice. Learn readings and meanings as you play.

Slash, build, and master kanji.

Kanji Samurai turns learning Japanese into a sword-swinging puzzle game. Every kanji is broken into its parts—slash the right pieces and rebuild the character before time runs out.

HOW TO PLAY

1. A kanji appears with its reading and meaning.
2. Tap the correct parts (radicals and components) in the right order.
3. Rebuild it fast to keep your combo alive.

LEARN AS YOU PLAY After each round you see the reading in kana with romaji, plus the English meaning—so you actually remember the characters you build.

SIX TRAINING VOLUMES, JLPT N5 TO N1 Progress from Basics all the way to Master, following the JLPT levels from N5 up to N1. Six samurai guides—each with their own personality—train you volume by volume, from the cheerful Hayato to the fearsome Onimaru.

WHO IT'S FOR Great if you picked up Japanese from anime, apps, or class and want a fun way to drill kanji without the flashcard grind. Beginners and returning learners alike.
