Proper Kanji, With Fewer Permanent Mistakes
A suite of Japanese name, lettering, seal, translation, and tattoo-checking tools built around meaning rather than sound alone.
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.
