WaniKani Font Randomizer Firefox

WaniKani Font Randomizer

Randomly changes the font of kanji, hiragana, and katakana in WaniKani reviews

Features & Capabilities

I noticed in my WaniKani studies that I was becoming too reliant on the clean and particular representations of characters and kanji, and struggled to parse kanji that presented style or artistic flair.

So I created an extension to randomize fonts on reviews, with the intention of teaching myself to learn the visual patterns of kanji, not just a single representation.

Don't worry though, you're lessons will remain untouched.

User Reviews

Works as of 2025-10-10! I feel like I've definitely been memorizing kanji at least partially by the specific fonts, so this is a helpful way to make sure you learn kanji even if they don't look 1:1 the same as before. Some way to (arguably?) improve this extension: 1. Add an option to select which fonts are used (=checklist with tickboxes of available fonts?), in case you really don't want one of them to show up (or just want to use a few of them). 2. Show somewhere which font is being displayed currently? (I really like some of these and would like to use them for other purposes, but I'd have to track down what the fonts are called.) 3. An option to change the font for every review item, as opposed to every review session? Even without these features, it's definitely a handy tool that I'll keep using. Thanks!

Is WaniKani Font Randomizer Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

WaniKani Font Randomizer requires very minimum permissions.
