筆順 · parent and kana
Kana stroke order
Hiragana and katakana stroke order, set beside the kanji a dictionary names as the parent. A stroke count is the number of paths in that file.
Hiragana and katakana come from kanji.
- Parent character
- The kanji a dictionary names as the source of a kana glyph. This page uses the word only when two dictionaries name the same character.
A stroke count is the number of paths in that KanjiVG file. It is not a rule that the kana order is the parent order, shortened.
メ is not drawn.
The left plate is the kana file and the right plate is the parent. Click a plate to replay. A cinnabar part is the group the entries’ part matches, and only when that group is not the whole character. With reduced motion the finished form stays still.
On this page
Hiragana, the cursive of the parent
Each hiragana here is one that both dictionaries call the cursive form of the parent beside it.
Katakana, a part of the parent, or the parent itself
Each katakana here has a parent that both dictionaries name. The caption keeps their wording: a part, the character itself, or, for キ, the cursive of 幾.
Stroke counts of the basic kana

The sourced pairs
The kana column opens the Kotobank page. The last column is empty when no single group has exactly the cited strokes. A whole-character group is named, and it is not highlighted on the plate.

Sources and licenses
A pair on this page is limited to a parent named by both dictionaries linked from the table. The process, and the 1900 unification, are the 大辞林 pages. Those pages are not a source for any one parent. No dictionary figure is reproduced.
