Kotomora is a Japanese learner dictionary built for English speakers who want more than quick definitions.
Search Japanese, English, romaji, kana, or kanji and get learner-friendly entries with readings, meanings, example sentences, pitch accent, kanji details, conjugation info, and natural usage notes. Kotomora is designed to help you understand how a word actually works in context, not just what it roughly translates to.
Key features
- Japanese-English dictionary lookup for words, kanji, and learner guides
- Sentence analyzer that breaks Japanese text into words, readings, grammar clues, and dictionary links
- Kanji pages with meanings, readings, stroke count, components, and related vocabulary
- Example sentences with furigana so you can see words used naturally
- Pitch accent support where available

Kotomora is especially useful when you are reading Japanese and need to understand a sentence, choose between similar words, check kanji readings, or find the most natural way to say something.
Unlike traditional dictionaries that often feel like raw database dumps, Kotomora focuses on clarity, context, and learner-friendly explanations.
