This article is from the Japanese FAQ, by TANAKA Tomoyuki tanaka@cs.indiana.edu and Olaf Meeuwissen olaf@IMSL.shinshu-u.ac.jp with numerous contributions by others.
I haven't quite found the time to get around to these, but future
versions of the FAQ may contain several of the following fre-
quently asked and answered questions (in bubble-up order):
* How do I write my name in kanji/kana?
* Why are romaji evil?
* Can anyone recommend a good dictionary?
* I just can't remember those hiragana/katakana. Help!!
* What are hiragana/katakana?
This list is far from complete and I dare everyone to beat this
list. See Q1.2 on how to get your list to me. Preferably with
answers!
