I built Shirukan because I kept missing a very small thing while learning Japanese: a quick kanji lookup that does not feel like opening a textbook every time.
Shirukan is a fast, offline-first Japanese kanji lookup PWA. Type kana, enter romaji, or draw a character, and instantly get kanji, furigana, meaning, pronunciation, stroke order, example sentences, and Kanji X-Ray: a visual breakdown of what the character is made of. Built with vanilla JavaScript, open Japanese datasets, no accounts, no tracking, and a one-time Pro license.
