Japanese verbs and adjectives are automatically de-conjugated (忙しかった → 忙しい)

Kanji within a query will automatically be singled out and all searched for at once in the kanji dictionary. Stroke order diagrams are available for over 6000 kanji. View them by tapping the kanji itself in the entry viewer.

Searching via romaji is also supported. Please use one-to-one (wapuro) style.


Furiganifier
Aoba can add furigana over any Japanese text, and colorize words per part of speech.
