Master Kanji Through Active Writing

It’s an algorithm-driven study method. Instead of cramming, the system schedules reviews at increasing intervals. You’ll see difficult Kanjis more often and easy ones less frequently. It’s like having a personal tutor who knows exactly what you’re about to forget.

Kibikaku is a reinforcement tool. It works best if you’ve already encountered the Kanji in your studies. Our goal is to use handwriting as a memory trigger, helping you move characters from short-term to permanent memory.

No, you have total freedom! You can create custom decks for any level, from N5 to N1. Whether you’re adding a single Kanji or words up to 12 characters, you build the study material that fits your specific goals.

No, and that’s by design! Kibikaku focuses on Active Recall. Instead of relying on an algorithm to correct you, you write the kanji and self-assess. This deliberate comparison is scientifically proven to build stronger visual and muscle memory than automated correction.

We’ve made it easy! Every card includes a direct link to Jisho.org, the world’s most trusted Japanese dictionary. You can verify stroke orders, radicals, and example sentences to ensure your practice is always accurate.

Yes! While our app works on any device, we recommend using a screen large enough for comfortable handwriting. Whether using a stylus or your finger, a larger surface ensures the best experience for your practice sessions.

Kibikaku is a web app, but you can install it on your phone! For Android, use Chrome's "Install app" option. On iOS, use Safari's "Add to Home Screen." This creates a shortcut that works just like a native application, anytime.
