Kazu Nihongo(かずにほんご)

Atmospheric Japanese audio dramas for adult learners — clear enough to follow, rich enough to pull you in.

The Japanese is written to be accessible, but each story is immersive and meant to be enjoyed as a story, not as a children's lesson.

This channel is for learners around N5–N3 who want to experience Japanese through original stories and natural Japanese, with Japanese and English subtitles on every episode.

Created by Kazu, a nationally licensed Japanese language teacher with 12 years of teaching experience.

All stories and scripts are written entirely by me. This is an original project. AI is used as a production tool, but every creative choice is mine.
The voices are AI-generated, with pitch accent carefully tuned by hand.
The illustrations are AI-generated from prompts I write for each scene.
