What's New

• 01/16/2026

  Until now, the Kanji Dictionary only included about 3,000 kanji (daily-use kanji). This update significantly expands the dictionary by adding 9,502 non-Jōyō kanji, making a much wider range of characters available.

  I have also added a new option to the Name in Kanji Generator. A new checkbox labelled ‘Limit to name-appropriate kanji (Jōyō + Jinmeiyō)’ allows you to select how kanji are chosen: Enable it to generate names using only kanji officially permitted under Japanese law, or disable it to generate names using all kanji registered in the dictionary.

  This update greatly expands the possibilities for generating kanji names. Give it a try!
