Please read these terms before using KanjiDo (“the Service”). By using the Service you agree to be bound by them.
The Service is online study material for Japanese kanji. It provides a short video for each character, stroke order, readings, compound words, example sentences, and practice questions on reading, writing, radicals and stroke counts. It is available in Japanese, English and Burmese. The Service is not affiliated with any organisation that administers kanji proficiency examinations, and it is not the official material of any such examination.
An account is optional. Every study feature works without one; in that case your progress is stored only in your own browser. With an account, your progress, review schedule and study streak are stored on our servers so you can continue on another device. Please give accurate information when registering. Keeping your password safe is your own responsibility. If a child uses the Service, please register with the consent of a parent or guardian.
The 80 characters of grade 10 are free to study once you register an account. We will not retroactively put material behind a paywall once it has been released for free. To go beyond grade 10, choose one of three plans. All are billed monthly, and a first subscription includes a 14-day full trial. • Light: grades 10 to 3 (1,623 characters) • Standard: grades 10 to 2 (2,136 characters — every kanji in everyday Japanese use), plus mock exams, kanji maps and idioms • Premium: grades 10 to 1 (5,514 characters), plus the national contest Prices are shown on the purchase screen and include Japanese consumption tax. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never receive your card number.
Every plan is billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not refund part of a period you cancel partway through. Because the Service supplies digital content, it is outside the scope of cooling-off under the Japanese Act on Specified Commercial Transactions. If the Service is unusable for a prolonged period for reasons on our side, please contact us.
We may stop offering the Service. If we do, we will give notice at least three months beforehand, both inside the Service and to your registered email address. On closing: • All plans: billing stops from the closing date, and we refund the unused part of any period already paid for, pro rata. Refunds are made to the payment method used for the purchase.
You may not: • copy, redistribute or sell the material (videos, explanations, questions) without permission • make automated bulk requests or place an undue load on our servers • reverse-engineer the Service or gain unauthorised access to it • infringe the rights of other users or third parties • register an account with false information
The explanations, example sentences, videos and design produced by us belong to the operator of the Service. You may use them for your own personal study only. The Service uses the following open data under their respective licences, with attribution: • Stroke order data: KanjiVG (CC BY-SA 3.0) • Readings, stroke counts and meanings: KANJIDIC2 / EDRDG (CC BY-SA 4.0) Attribution appears on the About page and on the stroke-order screen of each video.
The Service is provided “as is”. We take care over the accuracy of the material, but we do not warrant that it is free of errors or that it will lead to a pass in any examination. We will try to give notice before the Service is interrupted, changed or discontinued, but we are not liable for loss arising from any of these.
We may revise these terms. We will announce any significant change inside the Service. If you keep using the Service afterwards, you are taken to have accepted the revised terms.
These terms are governed by the law of Japan. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance over any dispute arising in connection with the Service.
