Kanji no Chikara is built on open data. Here is every source, what it provides and the licence it is used under.
Character meanings, readings, stroke counts, school grades, newspaper frequency ranks and classical radical numbers. Dictionary date 2026-10-26.
Example vocabulary: spellings, readings and English meanings of common words. Dictionary date 2026-10-26.
Community lists for the N5–N1 levels. The JLPT has not published official kanji lists since 2010, so these levels are a widely used approximation, not an official classification.
Stroke shapes and stroke order, used for the stroke-order animation. Paths are copied unchanged; only the standard form of each character is used, not regional variants.
The kanji and vocabulary data on this site is derived from KANJIDIC2 and JMdict and is shared under the same licence, CC BY-SA 4.0. The Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group holds the copyright on that material. The stroke-order diagrams use KanjiVG’s stroke paths unchanged, under CC BY-SA 3.0, copyright Ulrich Apel.
The collection contains 2,211 kanji: every character with a level in Jonathan Waller’s JLPT lists.
2,012 entries have example words from JMdict’s common-word edition; the other 199 appear in no common word there, so their pages show none rather than inventing any.
The JLPT has not published official kanji lists since the test was revised in 2010. The levels here are a widely used community estimate.
