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. #### Related guides * [JLPT flashcards](/blog/jlpt-flashcards/) * [How to use flashcards for language learning](/blog/how-to-use-flashcards-for-language-learning/) #### Sources and license Character and romaji facts are acknowledged to the Japan Foundation's Irodori Starter resources.
