About
Rikaichan is a popup Japanese-English/German/French/Russian dictionary tool for Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey.

These are printable kanji flash cards on PDF that can be used along with the books Remembering The Kanji I, II, and III by James Heisig. These books and flash cards have been a great help for me when I was studying Kanji. Give them a try...

After a few changes to the Remembering The Kanji Flash Cards template, and thanks to Wikipedia's Hepburn Romanization article (and the inventor of copy & paste), we now have the Hiragana & Katakana Flash Cards.

This printable PDF includes the standard hiragana, katakana, and the extended katakana syllables - 249 flash cards in 21 double-sided pages.
