A small, focused practice.

ippun is built around a simple idea: a single minute of careful attention, repeated, builds real fluency. Each round gives you an anchor character and a tray of drifting kanji — your job is to find the compounds that fit, before the timer runs down.

No streaks to guilt you. No notifications to interrupt you. Just a calm, repeatable loop you can return to whenever you have the time.

Designed with care.

01 / Pace

Built for short sessions

Every round lasts about a minute. Play on the train, between meetings, or before bed — it fits.

Thoughtful difficulty

Beginner and Intermediate tracks, with compounds chosen and reviewed by native speakers.

03 / Privacy

Private by design

No accounts required. No personal data collected. Analytics are anonymous and can be switched off entirely.

Fully localized in both languages, with furigana readings on every compound.
