JLPT Guide/JLPT N5 Kanji

JLPT Level N5
The following is a list of 81 kanji, which is most of the kanji necessary to pass the N5 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), prior to the updating of the list several years ago.

There are now 103 kanji in the level N5 exam (24 more than the kanji listed below). Kanji used in the N5 test are used in more difficult levels, too.

As of 2010, the JLPT no longer publishes an official vocabulary list. Unofficial lists for all JLPT levels are however published on.
