A dark force has spread across the land, spawning strange beings called Kanji Kaiju that are wreaking havoc. You are the mercenary sent out to defeat and return the Kaiju to their natural form as Kanji.

Set in the mystical past of Japan. Explore the mountains, rivers and forests where the Kaiju Kaiju dwell. Meet the people who have had their lives intertwined with the existence of these Kaiju. And using your skills as a soldier and the power of Kanji you will restore peace to the Land of Japan.

Learn, practise and battle monsters using Japanese kanji characters by building each one piece by piece. By constructing kanji this way, youll be able to visualize how each component fits into one another to create the characters used in the Japanese writing system.

Learn and practise each kanji woven into a compelling story with beautiful settings and fascinating characters. Then battle the mystical beast with all the knowledge you have gained. By the end, youll be able to remember what each kanji means and how it is visually constructed.
