Hiragana Worksheet Generator

Pick a script (hiragana or katakana), choose which character rows to include, set the rows-per-character, and the page builds a printable worksheet. Each character row has the large reference glyph plus traced grey outlines you copy by hand. Click "Print" or "Save as PDF" from your browser to save it.

As many as you want — the tool runs entirely in your browser, with no rate limit. Generate a new sheet for each row, or one full all-46-character sheet, or a mixed katakana + hiragana drill. Every page prints cleanly on standard A4 / US Letter paper.

Yes, the tool is 100% free with no sign-up. We don't store your worksheets, don't watermark them, and don't track which pages you print. The generator works offline once the page has loaded — useful for classroom WiFi.

Yes. We encourage classroom and homeschool use. Print as many copies as you need. You can also screenshot a section of the worksheet to share digitally — for example, in a Google Classroom assignment or a Discord study group.

The traced glyphs follow the standard stroke order used in Japanese elementary schools and in the JLPT writing guidelines. For animated stroke-by-stroke practice with arrow indicators, see our Japanese Stroke Order tool linked below.

Most Japanese textbooks teach hiragana first because it appears far more often in everyday text — particles, verb endings, native vocabulary. Once hiragana is solid (usually 2–4 weeks of daily practice), katakana follows quickly because the sounds are identical, just with angular shapes.
