About this dictionary

Gokan Dictionary is built on the open, CC BY-SA-licensed gokan-dataset, which combines JMdict definitions, Tatoeba example sentences, and JLPT and KKLC level data into a single cross-linked reference.

It is the reference companion to Gokan SRS, a free spaced repetition app that teaches vocabulary built from the kanji you already know. Use the dictionary to look something up; use the app to actually retain it.
