Proper Kanji, With Fewer Permanent Mistakes

properkanji.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A suite of Japanese name, lettering, seal, translation, and tattoo-checking tools built around meaning rather than sound alone.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The site separates katakana—the standard script for foreign names—from kanji choices that require explanation and contextual judgment. Its listed outputs include transparent PNGs, print-resolution red seals, stroke-by-stroke writing animations, and Japanese-to-Hepburn-romaji conversion with macrons and particle pronunciation. Results may be labeled as native-checked or automatic estimates, and the tattoo checker says difficult cases receive human review.
