Enter your name to reveal it in kanji
First name only for now. No sign-up. Built on 3,003 characters from the official Jōyō and Jinmeiyō kanji lists.
How it works
Full names and common nicknames both work — Christopher and Chris get the same quality of result.
Against real English pronunciation data, then matched to actual kanji readings — not a spelling guess.
Every candidate is checked against its real dictionary meaning. Nothing unwanted makes the list.
Why sound and meaning
Sound matched for "Michael." None of these three characters mean anything close to it — picked for pronunciation alone.
Also "Michael." True, life, splendor, precious stone — checked character by character before it's shown to you.
Who's behind this
Kanjigram is built by someone from Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto — a few minutes' walk from Kiyomizu-dera. Every candidate is checked against real kanji dictionary data (KANJIDIC2), not guessed or licensed from a generic "Japan aesthetic" stock kit.
— Kanjigram, Kyoto
