Katakana Practice Sheets — Free Printable PDF

Katakana is the script of loanwords, foreign names and menus — the angular counterpart to hiragana, with the same 46 basic sounds from ア to ン. Tracing the characters over stroke-order guides is the quickest way to stop confusing look-alikes such as シ and ツ or ソ and ン. This page covers the full gojūon set in the traditional order; the voiced forms such as ガ and パ are indexed too — just search for them in the generator. Print the sheet below and drill them stroke by stroke.
