Rin & Tadashi

Learn Japanese with fun stories and curiosities 🇯🇵

Rin and Tadashi take Japanese words you think you already know (sushi, karaoke, tofu, Godzilla…) and pull a whole story out of them: where they came from, the myths people believe, the kanji hiding inside, and the jokes nobody warned you about. You draw every kanji with us, stroke by stroke.
