A revised, expanded edition of the best-selling Japanese-English character dictionary—the most comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary of its kind, with over 3,000 characters

Japanese language learners now have instant access to a wealth of accurate and in-depth information on kanji, including their meanings, readings, stroke order, and usage in compounds.

Includes the System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP), a revolutionary indexing system that has gained widespread popularity because it enables the user to locate characters as quickly and as accurately as in alphabetical dictionaries.

Features include:

• 3,002 kanji entries—772 more than in the first edition—reflecting recent changes in the government-prescribed Jōyō and Jinmei Kanji lists
• Includes latest 2020 revision of Education Kanji from 1006 to 1026
• Readings shown in kana instead of romanized Japanese
• Core meaning keywords that define the dominant sense of each kanji, followed by character meanings, or specific senses the kanji can have when used in the living language
• Thousands more compounds and other usage examples
• Expanded coverage of name readings
Gives alternative forms of kanji when more than one is considered acceptable according to the most recent Jōyō Kanji specifications
• Cross-references to entries in The Kodansha Kanji Dictionary, a revised and expanded edition of the New Japanese-English Character Dictionary

Kodansha’s Kanji Learner’s Dictionary is the most powerful kanji-learning tool ever devised.
