FAQ
How many strokes is 尾獣玉?
28 in total: 尾 is 7, 獣 is 16, 玉 is 5.
How do you pronounce Bijūdama?
Say it bi·jū·da·ma (尾獣玉). Japanese has no strong word stress: give each syllable about the same length and weight, and keep the vowels short and clear — a as in “father,” i as in “machine,” u as in “food,” e as in “met,” o as in “go.” A vowel with a bar over it (ō, ū) is long: hold it for two beats.
What characters make up Bijūdama — Tailed Beast Ball?
尾獣玉 — 尾, then 獣, then 玉. Core meanings from the KANJIDIC2 dictionary database: 尾 tail · end; 獣 animal · beast; 玉 jewel · ball.
Can I use the copied kanji anywhere?
Yes — it's standard Unicode text and works on any modern OS. One caution before you print or ink it: make sure the font is a Japanese one. Some fonts render the same characters in Chinese style, and the difference shows.
