Grade 6 Kanji Chart
Grade 6 finishes the elementary list with 191 kanji, many of them formal or technical: government, organs of the body, historical terms and academic words. After this year, students move on to the remaining Jōyō kanji taught in secondary school. This chart shows every grade 6 kanji with readings, English meanings and stroke counts, in the order of the official school grade table. It suits learners who have finished the earlier grades and are heading for the full Jōyō list, as well as teachers preparing end-of-primary reviews. Switch to the table layout for a denser reference page, and then print it on A4 or US Letter paper or save it as a PDF.
