Features

CosCom developed unique Kanji learning material, 2001.Kanji.Odyssey.

The first edition was published in 2003 that contained 2,001 characters.
In 2010, CosCom added 300 Kanji including 196 new Joyo Kanjis.
The latest 2001.Kanji.Odyssey consists of 2,301 characters.

Effective order and grouping of Kanjis

CosCom selected 2,301 characters including 2,136 Joyo Kanjis and 164 Non-Joyo Kanjis, and 1 symbol. We carefully categorized those 2,301 characters into 4 levels based on how often they are used.

Level 1	555 Kanjis	Very frequently used
Level 2	555 Kanjis (1110 in total)	Frequently used
Level 3	891 Kanjis (2001 in total)	Less frequently used compared to the above 2 levels
Level 4	300 Kanjis (2301 in total)	Joyo Kanjis used in names, or hardly used Non-Joyo Kanjis which are commonly used

According to our research 60% - 70% of Kanji that appear in newspaper and magazine articles or general business documents are covered by Level 1 Kanji. With 555 characters of Level 2 added, they cover over 90% of Kanji that appear in general documents overall.
Learning those 1,110 characters with priority is the most efficient way of Kanji learning.

Based on our research CosCom developed unique Kanji learning material, 2001.Kanji.Odyssey.
