| heisigStory | The flower at the top and the floor with the oven fire beneath are familiar. The problem is what comes in between. It is formed by the character for complete, whose vertical stroke doubles up as the first stroke of water. |
| heisigComment | |
| koohiiStory1 | Think of a picture of someone steaming vegetables. On top you see the flowers of cauliflower or something else that is being steamed. Underneath, the pan is completely full of water. Below the pan is a floor - that's the hotplate - and under that the oven fire. Caution: don't confuse with boil (#1257), or the steam radical in spirit (#1885). |
| koohiiStory2 | When you want to steam some flowers/vegetation you don't cover them completely with water, rather you have just a little at the floor of the saucepan and then heat. |

Really good deck. I'm 70% thorough and it's been a blast how much easier it is to learn vocab once you know the meaning of the kanjis.
For all the people who're voting negatively this deck, bear in mind it's made for recognition only, not production of kanjis.
You can learn production changing to keyword in the front card and the kanji on the back card.

Looks good, but many consistent kanji not exist!
on
This is such a great help for revising the Kanji, I'm using my own hand made flashcards as well which I find helps to cement the images in place. This pack is amazing though and thanks for all the readings included with it. I'm up to 1500 so far and it's really helping with understanding japanese
on
This deck is really neat
on
Fantastic tool all around.
on
I memorized 95% of the Kanji in this deck and I could really say that learning vocabularies is 100 times easier if you know Kanji. Even just knowing the meaning of the kanji is enough to make learning Japanese easier.
The readings of the Kanji can be learned in context together with the vocabs.

On my way to 2200. Currently at 400. This deck is very useful in terms of recognizing kanji. At first it was a bit overwhelming 20 kanji a day but its been getting into a habit of my daily routine. I can't wait to reach 2200.

Can someone tell me how to change jlpt level?

Some wrong with this, example [十] should transform [じゅう], but this deck doesn't have.
rely on wrong things, learn is forward reverse .

Very useful!
It has all what you need like the meaning, how to write,
original book story, and link to koohi stories if you don't like the book story and can't make your own story. It's customizable so you can still add images, translations, similar looking kanji. I do recommend for anyone willing to go through RTK, just keep going everyday.

Just incompleta and unuseful
on
A great deck with a lot of effort put into it. I took some time to change the translations to my native language and some translations I modified to better match the general usage of the kanji, but I took it as a learning experience as well. I'm thinking of turning the deck into a full JP-JP deck later.
on
It is the best thing I could find after many hours of research. That is worth something. I am almost halfway through and enjoying every day of it. The only thing that I don't understand is why some kanji meanings are not the same as the actual most used kanki meaning.
on
awesome
on
Make sure to read the page linked before trying the deck. I got confused and deleted it only to come back after seeing that it’s the best rtk deck imo. I’m amazed at how many kanji I’m learning to read. I don’t appreciate the Koohi stories included that are sexually explicit/misandristic but I understand that they were probably included since they were top rated.
on
I, personally, thought this was a decent deck.
on
That is massive
on
muito legal

PSA
To those that want the readings as well:
Go into the deck, and click Edit, and then 'Cards'.
There are 3 text boxes, focus on the one that says Back Template, then scroll down till you see the "uncomment for kunyonmi and onyomi". Delete the '<", and then Close. You're good to go.

Be Warned!
I'm a guy that already knows 500 or so kanji and i was searching for a way to learn the next 1500 kanji, i tried this deck for a few days together with other decks and i found out the hard way:
- the deck is full of wrong translations
- the deck is full of unused kanji
- the deck starts with very rare and hard kanji
- almost any other Japanese deck on Anki is better

Great deck!! I really appreciate it and a great way to learn the Kanji, too.

Very complete deck. I recommend checking out the article he wrote.
on
:)

i have issues with this deck (like another user said, some of the koohi suggestions go beyond "memorable" and into "disturbing"), but overall it's a very good deck for learning the kanji. The Heisig method doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth trying before you slam it.
on
This deck works great for me :)
And @the guy complaining about explicit stories: By being sexual/scary/disgusting, they are easier to remember.

The koohli descriptions included in this deck are sexually explicit and very off-putting. There's no easy way to turn that part off. This is not appropriate for most learners. I don't need to think about a woman waiting for sex in doggy style when I see the number nine.
on
Best kanji deck I've tried!

useful!

I've been studying for some years.... And I could never keep a consistency on my kanji learning. This method was just the best one I have ever tried. Pay attention to the radicals and their reading, and this method will help for sure.
on
its very well made
on
Solid deck for learning kanji
on
Very complete and easy to customize.
on
This deck is invaluable if you are using Heisig's book.
on
The kanji are learned in a useful order so that you learn certain elements before seeing them included within various characters so it doesn't feel too overwhelming. Several different stories are given for each character so you can choose which resonates most with you, or you can write your own story to help you remember. Coupled with the article on NihongoShark on how to learn the 2,200 kanji in 97 days, this has been a very useful way for me to memorise them. I find myself learning extra ones in this first week because I still feel enthusiastic after the first set!
on
Voting just to make the down-votes of those who can't read the English description less significant.
Thank you for your effort, Niko, that's a lot of work. I do use it in my studies and I totally appreciate it.

Nicely covered
on
I don't like it because it's based on Heisig method. I have learned Japanese at university few years ago and search a way to review kanji because it's easy to forget them. Plus I learned kanji with both ON and kun yomi at the same time. For me Heisig is so disconnected with actual Japanese speaking and real used of kanji. I prefer Kodansha based kanji deck.
on
All you need to know is here, boys. Just learn it
on
Great deck. Exactly what I was looking for.
Show me the Kanji by itself, then the answers on the back. I did edit it to show the On'yomi and Kun'yomi readings. It's already in there, just have to uncomment out the lines in the code.

I used it a few days before and during my visit in Japan and oit proved to be very useful. I feel like I'm improving very fast with just a few minutes a day!
on
Incredibly helpful deck that's well organized with tons of information, be sure to read the article to get the most out of it.
on
This helps me learn a lot
on
Question! When I click "answer" the first thing that pops up is the word translation in English. I'd like to see the hiragana reading or Japanese translation instead. How can I do that??? Thank you!
on
You make learning the kanji more manageable by being approachable and honest about how difficult it actually is - but you also give hope that it is manageable.
on
Convenient and very helpful
on
Amazing deck for kanji in an order that actually makes sense :)
on
yay

Great deck! Be sure to read the instructions given in the deck description above. I am really having fun learning kanji with this deck.

The most convenience RTK PREMADE DECK with nice layout deisign for each card.

great deck

Thank you for sharing! Will attempt the 97-day challenge...*shivers*
on
This deck has everything I need for learning, but the article that links from here to NihongoShark is an amazing and inspiring article. Awesome! Thanks, Niko!
on
Best deck ever. It's really well made and fits perfectly into my studies
on
Thanks for sharing, amazing deck ! :)
on
Pretty good. Too anyone looking to learn how to pronounce the characters and learn an extra 800 for a total of 3,000 kanji, Heiseg has 2 more books. Only complain would be that the app doesn't go out of it's way to introduce new primitives if they are not kanji on their own. I found a good page for that though: http://rtkelements.blogspot.com. 頑張って（がんばって）
on
So glad I don't have to create these cards myself!
on
fabulous!
on
Thanks!!!
on
The basis to any good kanji deck.
on
Well made list

Amazing g
on
Very complete and good commentary.
on
Perfect. Read the guide on Nihongoshark if you're confused on how to use this deck (as some people who wrote reviews clearly haven't...)
on
Amazing job with a lot of work put into it. Kudos for making it available!
on
Great instructions and layout!
on
great deck. don't know why it is kanji to keyword but easily changable.
on
Amazing deck with lots of information: key words, stroke order, readings, examples of usage in words with translations etc. Easily adjustable to whatever one is looking for (previous reviews contain guidance how to do it, for people who are not well familiar with Anki yet). This is a perfect deck to study kanji that I was looking for!
on
A detailed, well thought out deck. Great work Niko and team!
on
So I uploaded it to my ankiweb acc and when I try to study I get a lot of N1 kanji even tho I just started of can I change the order somehow on what kanji appear first? And for changing the things that are visible on the flash card, do I have to use the Anki application or can I somehow change it in ankiweb? I want to be able to see the on and kunyomi readings on the back of my card which isn’t the case atm
on
Very detailed and perfect implementation of Heisig learning mechanism.
on
This is great. Just do the customizations other commenters mention and you're all set.
on
Simply awesome! Saves me the time of having to look up all that information...
on
Overall its a good deck, but it lacks cards for primitives that aren't also a kanji.
on
simple, full, customisable. rich with data
on
Very useful and well organized
on
The deck is well constructed, easy to understand and very useful.
on
I love it! Thx niko :DD
on
great
on
The breakdown of the characters and spaced repetition makes it definitely one of the most efficient ways to learn kanji, all while being free.
on
Everything you need!
on
Only one word, PERFECT.
on
It's a good deck, but u guys should review the stroke order of kanji on it
I haven't look all cause i'm on the beginnig of the deck, but the convex kanji (凸) is wrong for example

Thank you for sharing this deck! It is very helpful. I haven't finished all of the Kanji but studying it through this method is effective. I can recognize characters I haven't seen after weeks/months and I can guess the meaning of a few words based on the meaning of the individual Kanji it is composed of (yes, just a few as of the moment because I stopped studying for some time and I am not yet finished with this deck). It requires much effort at first but I have learned more Kanji this way than when I tried the traditional method of memorizing the onyomi, kunyomi, and stroke order.
on
Perfect for learning the kanji

Ugh. DOES NO ONE READ THE BOOK!??!? English on FRONT, THEN 漢字 on back. If you don't fix this before using this deck, YOU WILL ONLY LEARN HOW TO READ, AND NOT WRITE. You need to be able to think of a keyword then summon up the 漢字 from memory in the real world in order to write, right??? RIGHT?!?!? Am I the only one who saw Heisig mention this? What are you gonna do when you can only interpret 漢字 already written on the front page for you?? Great, you can read. Now go write it on a blank page with no 漢字 in front of you, and all you have is the ENGLISH KEYWORD you want to translate. THE READING WILL BE LEARNED IMPLICITLY, ONLY DO ENGLISH KEYWORD-->漢字！！！！ Infuriating. It's not like Heisig said repeated this numerous times in his freaking book or anything.
Let me repeat that (yes, again) for the poor old folks stumbling their way into this deck... Heisig, the guy this and several other decks were basically made over, the guy who makes this whole Kanji process a fun, seamless endeavor would absolutely facepalm at the practice of only going Kanji->ENG. Think about it; if you know how to write, you MUST know how to read; if you have the kanji in memory that's triggered by the english keyword FIRST, you HAVE to recognize the 漢字 by its lonesome out in the wild. But if you JUST know how to read the kanji and translate it to a keyword, it is NOT guaranteed that you know how to summon the stroke order & character for a particular meaning from memory. PLEASE, fix this before actively using this deck. (see below)
Woo... I've cooled down... You can go to 「Browse」 then select the deck, then click "Cards.." and ensure the Front Template contains {{keyword}} and not {{kanji}} ... still, people who aren't particularly tech-savvy may have trouble figuring that out, that is, you know, for the people who actually READ Heisig's advice.
Okay, I'm using the deck now. The stroke order pictograms are very nice; they seem to actually be images, so they will show up on mobile just fine (I've used previous decks where the stroke orders weren't appearing on mobile for some reason). In order to see the Heisig story on the back, you'll AGAIN have to edit the card templates where it says "Uncomment to see Heisig story".... ((do people who don't code even know what "Uncomment" or the syntax for comments in HTML are? Bleh. Any fellow programmers out there however, it should be a cakewalk.))
FINALLY, a deck where the order seems to be in-line with Heisig's order (so far). Whew. No other deck seemed to truly do this. You sir, have deserved a thumbs up for this alone (despite my internet autism rage above). This is MUCH more painless as I don't have to edit/delete/guess cards that shouldn't be appearing yet.
And I gotta say... The format looks really pretty :) (but now I'm just getting starry-eyed)

This is a remarkable deck, I never thought I could learn so many kanji in so little time, especially being a full-time college student. I only have a few hundred left to study, and I feel like it takes practically no brain power to remember each card because the methods used are so efficient and fun! Thank you so much for making this awesome deck, without it I might never have learned all these beautiful kanji!

gud

Excellent deck, helped me get through RTK in 3 months.
on
To all of the negative reviews saying it doesn't teach you the reading - that's not true. You can turn on the OnYomi and KunYomi for every card without having to do it individually by going to Card Options and Add Field. Scroll down until you see options for the reading and you can add it to the front or back card. I've personally added both to the front and back of my cards. There are plenty of options to display a ton of information that the author has provided (My Story, Koohi Story, Heisig Story, Heisig Comments, Strokes, Readings, Links, etc.).
on
I give this deck 3/5
in ' my story ' is blank and you hve to fill them yourself by copying from koohistories.. this WASTE so much time that can be used for learning..
edit: 3/5 > 4/5 (this should be green thumb but I still make red thumb so everyone can read my complains >.>)
after reading other reviews I found out you can modify the card so it can do reverse review (KanjitoKeyword) or download "Anki Advanced Copy" addon to copy the content of fields to another fields.. but it can only be done using computer.. when I first using this deck I'm using Ankidroid and been using it for 1 month++ before I installed Anki on my PC.. yeah, still the wasted time and configuring.. if only nihongoshark said something in the description tho..

Great deck!
Admittedly I've only gone through 180 kanji through 6 days worth of studying, but so far it's been pretty great. The fact that the deck has not only the Heisig story + comments but also the usually much better Koohii stories to contrast to them has been great... particularly when I'm drawing a blank for coming up with a 'MyStory'.
To the uninitiated- that it, to those who didn't come here from https://nihongoshark.com/learn-kanji/- then I'll just say this: if you want a solid deck for Japanese study, one that not only shows you the kanji in the easiest order but also gives you a good variety of mneumonics to help with the memorization process, pick THIS one up specifically for your kanji study. You won't go wrong :)
11/13 Update: I AM A CRAZY PERSON: I've learned 712 kanji in 22 days 0_0 ....well, 'learnt' in a manner of speaking; I have only 54 'mature' cards, and the rest are 'young and learning', but I digress. Moreover, my mission is to learn 31 Kanji every day; what is the reason for this insanity? To learn all the kanji (or at least be 'young and learning' all the kanji') by the new year: before January 1st. Still, no regrets so far, and the deck has proved very effective for my learning: I find the Koohii stories included in the deck particularly useful, as 75% of the time they're better then any stories I try coming up with. So yeah, this still comes recommended: hopefully I can give you a more complete review once it's over :)

So yeah, this still comes recommended: hopefully I can give you a more complete review once it's over :)

Need help in customization
I would like to review all the Kanjis for JLPT N4 and JLPT N3. Can someone please help me out.

Actually the best and most complete deck about Kanji
I have to thank the author for the hard work of putting everything together.
But my review is actually addressed to negative reviews, that are based upon ignorance about the Anki app:
(1) all cards HAVE info about the kun/on-yomi readings, and you CAN show it indeed.
(2) you DO NOT NEED go to the Edit page if you want to see all the stories each time you flip a card.
(3) with some step you could also modify it so to be a keyword -> kanji deck (or onyomi -> keyword, or everything you want)
Anki is a highly-customizable tool, with a lot of features and wonderful add-ons you could explore; here I'm going to explain how to implement just these 3 simple changes.
Go to "browse" and select this deck (on the left). You see all the fields? (id/frameNoV4/frameNoV6/keyword/....) These are all info about cards, a lot of info... but not everything has been chosen to show up when you flip cards. However you can modify this behavior in 2 simple steps.
Let's say you want to train kun/on-yomi readings:
it is sufficient to click on the "Cards..." button and you'll see the HTML code to format front and back of cards; in the "back template" window you can simply uncomment the lines about kun/on readings, and also stories if you want (a comment starts with "<!--" and ends with "-->").
This changes apply to the format of all the cards, and can be done very quickly.
The 3-rd point need a little more effort: basically you need to download the "Create Copy of Selected Cards" Add-On ( https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/787914845 ) and copy this deck to a new deck I'll call the "Inverse", so that your old deck is untouched.
Now you can browse to the Inverse deck, click the "Cards..." button, and swap the content of the "Front Template" with that of the "Back Template" windows, making sure to *comment out* everything except the keyword (or everything you want to keep).
That's all, ガンバレ！

the never ending story
I went through all 2200 Kanji and made flash cards of every single one. This took forever, but it was so helpful on my beginning of learning this system. Thank you! :)

Started this deck !
So far so good!
This is my first time trying RTK and it's been fun so far.
I'm not sure why people give bad reviews when it says "it's used with the instructions from nihongoshark". People need to read before reviewing ' -'
Anyway, anyone knows which edition of RTK I need for this deck? I assume the 6th edition but I want to be sure.

Deck skips several kanji.
This Deck is just great and easy to customize. I reached halfway the 2200 kanji in about 2.5 months. In the meantime to got the Heisig RTK book and I will take a break in order to only review the first half of the deck before going forward.
However I have 2 questions to ask.
1. Regarding my earlier question about the Deck skipping Kanji's when there is a greater number than 2200 in the Field of *frameNoV4*, I figured out a way to reposition the due order of the Cards and avert to problem. But I still do not know why the skipping occurred in the first place.
2. Regarding my second question about wanting to make a list or deck of the primitives of RTK from the NihongoShark.com Kanji Deck and the Heisig RTK1 V6 book, I came across this RTK1 V6 chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z0BUSie8wh0JqlUejezs3EqauJuF-zKEomOQnqm9J08/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 which may function as base to set up my list of primitives and related meaning.
Both the RTK method and this Deck are excellent ways to attempt conquering the Kanji. Thanks.

Pretty good
I had some difficulties along the way but I'm almost done, and it works really well for me.

As a response to the comment below
All the points you talked about in your comment is explained in the site given in the description of this deck (https://nihongoshark.com/learn-kanji/) - You're not supposed to use this deck without looking at that first.

Its very bad
Worst.kanji have many meaning but why you only add just one meaning each kanji.and when you want to read kohii story you must see it from edit deck,its so annoying. moreover i still cant remember some/lots kanji even review it 10 times.so this flashcard not worth for learning kanji

Early Days...
...but the deck seems to be working for me. Using the Heisig stories have helped to remember some of the more abstract Kanji and I've managed to guess the meaning of a few brand new characters first time.

The deck seems good, especially after enabling the stories in the card settings. However, there's only mnemonics for understanding the kanji, but not for the kun- and onyomi readings. If those were included as well, this deck would be perfect for learning Kanji.

Lots of useful info, good deck
Each card contains the kanji, keyword, stroke order diagram, example words, plus the Heisig story and the top two stories of koohii.
If I could give any advice about using this deck, it would be to modify the front of the cards to display the keyword instead of the kanji, and do your reviews by writing the kanji down from memory. This is how Heisig says to study, I predict trouble down the road if you can't produce the kanji you learn from memory.

Great Deck!
So I really love this deck, & it's helped me a lot.
Thanks to the guy who claimed everyone besides them is a "shill", but they are full of it. The deck is legit.
They are, however, correct in that it does not have the kun/on(pronunciation). It's actually on purpose. It's meant to show you the meaning, so you can learn the kanji that way. It is laid out and explained in depth if you simply follow the link in the information above. So yeah, that explained that.
That being said, however, I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars because I think that the pronunciation should still be there, if only as an optional addition to this deck.
Myself, I intend to simply continue putting it in the "myStory" section as I go along/learn new kanji. While it'd be nice if it was already done(like I said, hence it being 4 instead of 5 stars imho), it really doesn't take long at all to put it in myself, & in fact I find it sticks in my head better when I go out of my way to look it up and ensure it's the correct meaning via cross-referencing. Guess what - learning takes time. & that's okay. Things aren't always gonna be laid out perfectly for you. That doesn't mean this deck is useless, & it certainly doesn't deserve a crap rating. But hey that's just my opinion. So ultimately, that's what it boils down to. & you're entitled to yours as well. But since someone else decided to share theirs, I figured a rebuttal was only fair. :P
Again, not a shill. Just a person who found this very helpful - even if it's not perfect. I recommend it for anyone trying to learn Japanese, for sure. But I also must recommend reading the link provided in the information at the top of this page. Also, if you are like me & want to know how to say the word you're looking at in your target language, instead of just learning the /meaning/ of it & then learning how to say it later on, then I suggest doing what I did(putting that info in yourself as you go along, I mean - you only need to fill it in once for each card/kanji, & you're good to go from that point on).
Thank you for making this deck, Niko. This & a lot of other study material. It's been a huge help!
PS: They say kun is more day-to-day important/useful than on, so if you only are gonna put in one, make it the kun pronunciation. At least, that's what I would do if I had to choose. On is only used when it's strictly kanji put together to make special "bigger" words, that are akin to using "big words" in english. That is, while you can do it, too much will just make you sound pompous & isn't really needed to fully understand the language & speak on a native level. Again, I am not a teacher nor am I Japanese myself, so this is just peer-to-peer advice you're getting. Good luck, strangers!

Great deck, but...
Unless you're worried about quitting, doing it keyword->kanji is a better use of your time. It is certainly easier to get started the reverse way, but several who tried this shortcut found it made their memory of the kanji fuzzier in comparison.

Terrible deck
Ignore the 5 star reviews those are all shills. This deck only gives you the meaning for the kanji, it doesn't tell you how to read them. You have to click a link to go to a website if you want to see the reading, it's extremely inefficient to have to do that repeatedly for literally every f*cking one.

Unprecedented!
I went from only knowing a few hundred kanji to knowing 2200, and all over the course of a few months! Now I'm compiling huge vocabulary lists from light novels since learning new vocab is now 100 times easier!

Loving this deck! I'm new to all of this, but can now recognise over 100 kanji thanks to this deck :) It's only been a few days, so I'm very happy with that result. I'd recommend reading the linked article at nihongoshock as well

Amazing!
This is the best method I have used to learn Kanji! I'm at around ~700 kanji right now and have about a ~90% retention rate. Though you don't need the book 'Heisig's Remebering the Kanji' (I'm not using it) it could be nice to have, both to support Heisig and to get a better grasp of the primitives.

Makes learning kanji much easier than traditional methods
This deck was a lifesaver. Previously I was using memrise to learn all the jouyou kanji in the order that Japanese students learn them. However, this is a TERRIBLE idea, mainly because the order is based on how difficult the idea that the kanji conveys is rather than the amount of strokes.. For foreign learners of Japanese, it is much better to start with kanji with few strokes (as well as radicals) and learn their meanings (even though some are quite obscure, like gall bladder). Then kanji with many strokes become much easier because you can just look at the radicals within them and create a mnemonic to help yourself remember it. This is the method that this deck uses and it was very helpful. It took me around 4 months to complete and I now know the meanings of 2,200 kanji with around a 90% retention rate.
