About Learn Japanese: Kagekotoba
Learn Japanese words through play. Read a word, choose its meaning, and help your traveler win a short vocabulary battle. Kagekotoba combines Japanese vocabulary practice with an ink-painted adventure. Choose a ninja, samurai, or scholar, follow a stage path, and build a daily vocabulary practice habit. PRACTICE WORDS AND READINGS • Match Japanese words to their meanings and practice in both directions. • Use optional reading hints and Japanese audio. • Revisit missed words within your practice session. MAKE PRACTICE PART OF YOUR DAY • Explore an eight-stage vocabulary path. • Return for daily word practice or challenge the training tower. • Earn in-game coins and scrolls as your journey progresses.

CHOOSE YOUR EXPLANATION LANGUAGE English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, and Brazilian Portuguese are available. Japanese is the language you practice.
