N2 JLPT Kanji List

In this article, we will see a complete list of ideograms or Kanji from N2 used in the JLPT, the Japanese language proficiency test. A total of 387 Kanji organized by the JLPT table with their kun and on readings and their meanings. 

We didn't put the romanized readings, because it doesn't make much sense to do that. If you are already studying N2, your minimum obligation is to know how to read hiragana and katakana.

List of kanji for N2 JLPT

Does Kanji N2 have meanings">

We don't want you to be looking for the meaning of Japanese characters, because they don't exist. Most of the time they just convey a certain idea or concept according to the words in which they compose. 

An ideogram alone will not convey the idea of absolutely anything, the meanings that you will see in this article are just some of the words and similar in which they compose. Get out of your head that ideograms have meanings!

There are exceptions where isolated ideograms are used literally as words such as in the case of kuchi [口] which means mouth, chikara [力] which means strength, inu [犬] which means dog and many other exceptions.

Lists ideograms and Kanji N2

The translation is done from English to Japanese and has several meanings in a single ideogram. This doesn't necessarily mean that this kanji means that, but that perhaps a compound word with that kanji has that meaning.

Japanese ideograms generally tend to convey the idea of something; it may not make sense to imagine this idea in isolation. Translations may not be 100% accurate; if you want to dig deeper, we recommend jisho.
