Stop memorizing.
Learn kanji the Kanjimori way
Explore kanji family trees that map the components, sounds, and meanings characters share — then lock them in with leveled lessons and spaced-repetition reviews built around those same relationships.
Why Kanjimori
Built around how kanji actually work
Not rote memorization. Not arbitrary mnemonics. The real structure of kanji, made visual and navigable.
Family Trees
Kanji inherit readings or meanings from parent components. Our interactive trees reveal these relationships — helping you master new characters and tell similar-looking ones apart.
Roots & Composition
Every kanji is built from ancient pictures — we call them roots. See how they gradually combine into more complex characters, making even the most daunting kanji approachable.
Curated Curriculum
Each level introduces kanji in an order informed by our trees and the way they're taught in Japan, with hand-picked vocabulary to reinforce readings naturally.
Level Up
Spaced repetition reviews lock in what you've learned. Ace them to level up and unlock new kanji, vocabulary, and walkthroughs that deepen your understanding as you go.
See it in action
One root, many characters
Here's a real example from our trees.
Start with a root
生 means "life" and is read セイ. It's a common building block inside other kanji.
Spot it in its children
姓 (surname), 星 (star), 性 (nature), 牲 (sacrifice) — all contain 生, and all share its reading セイ.
Learn the pattern once
Know that 生 passes down its reading, and you can predict the pronunciation of characters you've never studied.
生 passes its reading セイ to an entire family — one of thousands of patterns in our trees.
