What is included

Every entry is an exact kanji-and-reading record that passed required-field, dictionary, source, review-date, and relationship checks.

Gender scope

This full directory includes records classified as male, female, or unisex by the reviewed evidence. Use the filter to keep those groups separate.

Meaning boundary

Character glosses describe the reviewed spelling. They do not prove every bearer's intended whole-name meaning, and a shared pronunciation does not make two kanji forms equivalent.

Counts refer only to records in this directory whose exact published kanji meet each collection's inclusion rule.
