Fujiten APK

Fujiten – Japanese Dictionary App

Fujiten is a Japanese dictionary application built with the Flutter framework.

It draws definitions and kanji data from the EDICT dictionary, which has been compiled into a database through the edict_database project.

Setup

To use Fujiten, you’ll need two essential components:

• Expression Database

• Kanji Database

You can install both directly from Fujiten via the Settings → Databases menu, or download them manually from the edict_database repository.

Top Menu Overview

1. Bars

• Access the Settings Menu, where you can:

+ Download or update dictionary databases

+ Adjust display brightness

• View legal and licensing information

2. Insert Options

• Radicals ‹› – Finds kanji that contain the selected radicals

• Kanji Character (Ⓚ) – Matches any kanji character

• Kana Character (㋐) – Matches any hiragana or katakana character

• Joker (.*) – Matches any sequence of characters

3. Convert

If your device doesn’t have a Japanese keyboard, Fujiten can convert romaji (Latin letters) to kana automatically:

• Lowercase romaji → Hiragana

• Uppercase romaji → Katakana

Search Functions

When performing a search, select the mode that fits your goal:

• Kotoba Mode: Searches for words or expressions

• Kanji Mode: Searches specifically for kanji

Other tools include:

• Clear: Erases the current input

• Search: Executes the search query

Tips for Effective Searching

• Fujiten supports regular expressions, so you can use quantifiers ({}) and meta-characters (like .) to refine your search.

• Use radical search ‹› when you recognize some parts of a kanji but not the full character (e.g., ‹化›).

• If your search returns no results, try adding ".*" at the start or end of your query to expand matches.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to install any additional files before using Fujiten?

A: Yes, Fujiten needs two main databases to function properly—the Expression Database and the Kanji Database. You can download both directly within the app by heading to Settings and selecting the Databases section, or you can grab them manually from the edict_database repository if you prefer.

Q: How do I access the settings in Fujiten?

A: You can get to the settings by tapping the Bars icon at the top of the app. From there, you’ll find options to adjust your display brightness, update the dictionary databases, and view details about licensing and source data.

Q: Can Fujiten convert romaji into Japanese characters?

A: Yes, Fujiten can automatically convert romaji into kana. Typing in lowercase letters will give you hiragana, while uppercase letters will produce katakana. It’s a handy feature if you don’t have a Japanese keyboard installed on your device.
