Katakana Flashcards: 46 Basic Characters

Learn the complete modern basic katakana set with 92 two-way cards: 46 katakana-to-romaji prompts and 46 romaji-to-katakana prompts.

What the cards practice

Cards 1–46 show one katakana character and ask for its learner romaji.
Cards 47–92 show one qualified romaji cue and ask for the katakana character.
Every card has the single tag basic-katakana, and every back begins with the answer.
The learner label wo keeps ヲ distinct from オ on reverse cards; both ヲ cards note that its modern pronunciation is usually “o.”

The deck follows the Japan Foundation Irodori Starter kana table for the 46 characters and core readings, including shi, chi, tsu, and fu. The facts were reviewed on August 18, 2026.

Learning sequence

The katakana-to-romaji pass moves through the gojūon by vowel column. This keeps the sequence systematic while spacing common lookalikes such as シ and ツ, ソ and ン, ノ and メ, and ロ and コ. The reverse pass is a separate fixed mix rather than another predictable chart run. At least seven unrelated cards sit between each character's two directions, and the same lookalikes are separated by at least three unrelated cards in the mixed pass. The published sequence is deterministic and identical for every learner.

Scope and limitations

This deck covers exactly the 46 modern basic katakana. It excludes audio, vocabulary, example words, stroke order, handwriting, mnemonics, dakuten, handakuten, contracted sounds, historical kana, and extended foreign-sound combinations because those are different retrieval tasks.

The deck does not teach listening, handwriting, vocabulary, grammar, or a complete Japanese course.
