Japanese characters look correct only when written in the proper sequence, and the official stroke order improves both legibility and writing speed. Kakikata shows you exactly how each kana should flow, then lets you replay at your own pace. Stroke-order data is from the KanjiVG project (CC BY-SA 3.0, © Ulrich Apel et al.) and rendered smoothly via Jetpack Compose Canvas. Stroke data stays on your device; the only network use is a discreet, non-personalized banner ad that's hidden while writing.
