Learn the shapes and stroke order of Japanese hiragana by tracing each letter with your finger. Built for young children (ages 3–7) and for anyone learning Japanese.
Follow the guide
A pen-tip marker glides along each stroke from the green start point to the red end point, showing the correct order and direction. Trace along and feel a gentle tap as your line takes shape. Every finished character is graded with a familiar Japanese mark: a flower (excellent), a circle (good), or a cross (try again).
What you get
• All 46 basic hiragana, laid out on the classic gojūon chart
• Stroke-order guide with numbered start/end points and animation
• Pronunciation audio for every letter, plus sound effects
• Adjustable difficulty for how strictly your tracing is judged
• Words while you practice: as you work on a letter, an illustrated word appears with that letter left blank—trace it in to complete the word
• Shuffle practice: run through your unlocked letters in random order
• My Garden: watch flowers grow as you practice, and compare today's writing with your very first try
• Romaji readings to support learners (in non-Japanese languages)
Made for little hands and grown-up learners
Playful marks and sounds keep children engaged, while a calm, uncluttered layout works just as well for adults. Purchases are protected behind a parents' gate. The app works offline and needs no account.
