The Story Behind Gojuon
As a Japanese language learner myself, I understand the challenges of memorizing kana characters. I created Gojuon to solve a simple problem: making kana practice as convenient as checking the time or weather on your phone.
The name "Gojuon" (五十音) comes from the Japanese kana system, representing the fifty basic sounds in the language. This widget is designed to help you internalize these fundamental building blocks of Japanese.
