How Japanese Kanji Numbers Work
Japanese uses Sino-Japanese numerals written with Kanji characters:
- Basic digits: 一 (1), 二 (2), 三 (3), 四 (4), 五 (5), 六 (6), 七 (7), 八 (8), 九 (9)
- Place values: 十 (10), 百 (100), 千 (1,000), 万 (10,000), 億 (100,000,000)
- Reading order: largest unit first (e.g. 123 = 百二十三 = "hundred twenty three")
- No zero symbol — gaps are implied (e.g. 1001 = 千一)
This converter follows modern standard Japanese reading — ideal for learning, checking homework, understanding Japanese texts, or writing numbers in formal/creative contexts.
