Jitai (字体): A fairly full-featured font randomizer for WaniKani.

List of supported fonts and download links

Fonts at some point found on freejapanesefont.com

(But, obscure Japanese links have a tendency of breaking, and a lot of these have moved. If you see a broken link, please tell me in the forum thread!)

I would recommend taking a look at these fonts, and installing the ones you'd like. Once installed, Jitai will automatically use them. I, personally, have them all installed - it's a good mix!

Jitai will only use any given font for words where it has all the kanji in it, so don't be afraid of installing fonts that only contain a limited subset of kanji - it can't hurt. Go wild!


Default Windows fonts

  • Meiryo
  • MS Gothic
  • MS Mincho
  • Yu Gothic
  • Yu Mincho

Default OS X fonts

  • Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro
  • Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro
  • Hiragino Mincho Pro

Common Linux fonts

  • EPSON 正楷書体M
  • EPSON 教科書体M
  • EPSON 太明朝体B
