This Kanji index method groups together the kanji that are written with the same number of strokes. Currently, there are 2,187 individual kanji listed. Characters followed by an alternate in (parentheses) indicate a difference between the official version of the character and the version used in JIS X 0208 (the JIS version is in parentheses). Kanji is symbolic, or logographic. It is the most common means of written communication in the Japanese language, with more than 50,000 different symbols by some estimates. However, most Japanese can get by with using about 2,000 different kanji in everyday communication.

Great deck
on 1615373057 Overall the deck is really nice, but there are some annoying formatting inconsistencies, for example sometimes you used coma with spacebar and the other times you used Japanese full width coma.
And kanji near the end of the list have kun'yomi listed as on'yomi.

Hay
on 1599723424 Would it be possible to improve the kunyomi and onyomi fields? Many of the readings are redundant. For example, the card for 玉 lists three kunyomi: たま、たま-、and -だま. This should just be one kunyomi, たま. It should not include rendaku readings, and certainly shouldn't include whatever the hyphens are trying to communicate. Often it includes a bunch of variations showing possible okurigana. This is not useful.
Ultimately what I would like to do is make a new card type that shows me the kanji and asks for common kunyomi and/or onyomi. As it stands, the bloat in these fields makes this too inefficient. I considered memorizing only the first reading (of each kunyomi and onyomi), but I am not confident that there is any sense to the order of the readings. Is there? Right now, I am using the deck only to memorize the keywords of each kanji, but I would like to use it for readings as well.
It's a great deck, I am halfway through the 7065 cards. I particularly like the way the stroke order diagrams are implemented using a font. Having two different printed examples of the kanji (one in a standard computer font, and one in the 'written' style font) is super helpful for both recognition and writing. A few times now, my devices have updated whatever Japanese font they're using, changing some of the kanji quite a lot. It's nice to have the stroke order font almost as a backup. This deck is also tagged and formatted nicely, in case you want to take advantage of that. I was using this to order my learning, but honestly the default deck order is very sensible and I should have trusted that from the start.

yo thanks for the hard work do you happen to have the order list you used for highschool kanji?
on 1595005133 There's no recall tag to delete the recall cards and who the fuck needs recall cards? It's not like you're gonna picture in your mind all the radicals. Dumbass.
on 1594578717 I appreciate the effort that went into this, but the recurring instances of gross, racist, and generally cringe mnemonics is really off-putting.

on 1582705526 Thank you very much for this thoughtful collection. I've been using it for about 10 months. It helped me a lot to study all kanji up to N2. The tags allowed me to costumize the deck for my own needs. Now I'll use this deck to study all 2136 Jouyou kanji.

on 1571248593 Excellent deck, I can't imagine how much work you put into it. I was wondering if you could release a simple card deck with all the example words you placed for each kanji in this deck, that would be freaking fantastic! You have our utmost gratitude.
on 1570350899 I use this deck to learn kanji reading. I modified the cards so that they only show the info relevant for me (i.e. the kanji itself, the meaning, and one reading). If you don't want the reverse cards, just suspend them. All in all an extremely useful deck.
on 1570255406on 1568399069
Any way to remove the reverse card? That one sentence guide isn't doing it for me, still can't figure it out...
Update: figured it out, when in browse with card view open, you have to type 'card:Recall' or whichever you don't want, not just Recall. Only then will it sort for you. Ctrl+A and suspend those boys.

In a card browser I see that a lot of those harder kanji (grade s+ or jinmeiyou) don't even have english meaning added? What's the point of those cards then?
I just began and the starting kanji were ok so far so I'm rating this thumbs up but be wary if you want to learn these rare kanji.
on 1565910886I just began and the starting kanji were ok so far so I'm rating this thumbs up but be wary if you want to learn these rare kanji.
It’s got lots of kanji, but IMO, I don’t need to see the cards in reverse, and not having the cards in reverse doesn’t seem to be an option. I need to learn how to recognize kanji, not translate from English to kanji which is an entirely different skill. Furthermore, having reverse cards can be confusing because some words in English could have many possibilities for kanji. For example, the words “lament, grief, regret” can be associated with 慨, 恨, 悼, 悔, 怨, 嘆, 歎, 惜, 憂, 愁 and others, making it frustrating to learn. It would be nice to have this deck with no reverse versions of the cards.
on 1563763821on 1561161220
Contains everything you need to learn Kanjis! The usage examples are particularly useful. The deck has a lot of kanjis, but with the ordering and the tag you can easily select what you want.
on 1558045415 It's good. The order is really logical and easy to understand!
on 1557410823on 1557159307
Seems good to me. My main complaint is that the mnemonics for remembering kanji are often quite adolescent and ridiculous. Occasionally they get lucky and say something useful.
on 1556098049 All you could want. Using it in conjunction with Tae Kim's guide and it's perfect :)
on 1554851273 It is possible to get ride of the duplicate cards, only have 1 card per kanji?
on 1554841456 I'm only at 776 learned so far but some kanji pop up with primitives that I haven't learned the kanji for yet. This is really inconvenient and there doesn't seem to be a way to sort them in the correct order but oh well I'm already this far in might as well keep going. I really suck at making stories so what I'll usually do is just use the koohii stories as a placeholder and then by the next day or so I'll usually be able to come up with something.
on 1552413767 This deck doesn't really teach you how to use the kanji; you only learn the English dictionairy meaning. When starting with this deck the most obvious problem with the deck is the lack of kana on the question card. When you are learning a kanji you just get to see a (sometimes outdated) dictonairy meaning; firstly this gives a problem with variant kanji that have the same meaning such as 國 and 国 (more on this later); but maybe more importantly you are learning kanji to read/write Japanese, not English; so the kana is much more relevant and I'd rather learn the kanji using just the readings and leave out the English completely (add it as option of course, also add it if the meaning is not clear from just the reading). Also please split obscure kana readings from commonly used ones and mark them (with another color for example). Or maybe it would even be better if you could list all words the kanji in kana and from there write down the kanji (again add English meaning as option and English should be added by default when there are common synonyms) because that's how you will be using kanji: to write Japanese words.
For example
Question:
みず
すいようび
etc...
Answer: 水
Of course the part which is used to write the specific kanji should be marked (ie. bolded).
Some kanji already have some example words. However some kanji especially the more advanced ones such as 藤 and 潟 don't give any example at all (these are still Kanji in JPLT so they should be used somewhere). At least give one example for every kanji; maybe you could mark obscure meanings or those usually written in kana (ie. using a different color). On the other hand some kanji give completely irrelevant example words such as 雄 which gives 'Eroica Symphony (Beethoven, 1804)' and 'Heroic Polonaise (Chopin)' as examples so I'm really confused why you added that.
Regarding variant characters such as 國, they should make a reference to the more commonly used character. Ie. make the question: give traditonal variant of 国 and the other way around (should not appear on the 国 by default).
Better explain nuances for characters with slightly different meanings not visible in English such as 探 and 捜.
Examples of how questions should be:
さいとう, ふじはら (common names)
ふじ (wysteria, usually written in kana)
Answer: 藤
Question:
にいがた (prefecture name)
かた (lagoon, obscure word)
Answer: 潟
English dictonary and other data meaning could be added as optional and by default when it's not clear from just the readings.
Of course the part which is used to write the specific kanji should be marked (ie. bolded). Obscure meanings could be left out by default (though every kanji should have at least ONE example of how it's used), or could possibly be marked using different colors.

Great deck. It just has everything and is nicely formatted.
However, it has one issue - some kanji show up in their Chinese version - such as 直 (seems this comment also shows the Chinese version).
Fortunately it can be easily fixed by wrapping the card style with span.
Fixes the issue completely on Windows 10 and Android Pie.

A great deck that requires just a little tweak to suit one's own needs! I got stumped a little as to how to remove the 'recognition' and just have the 'recall' portion but I managed to get it done. This saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you so much! :)

This is great! i'm just a beginner studying Nihonggo so I copied some of the number kanji from this deck and created a new one. My only problem is, the stroke order is not available when I view the cards via mobile. I'm in iOS.
Also, I decided to use some cards of this deck which are used regularly like 時, 円 and others to create a 'kanji beginner' deck of my own. But I tried to look for 私 kanji but it's not there. Am I searching incorrectly?

Hey, first, I wanted to thank you for putting in the work to create this great deck, it's the best one available by far!
However, I do have a few questions I was wondering you could maybe answer. When I look at the 'notes' table and the 'flds' column, I see all the data that goes on the pack of card dumped there without anything seperating them. How does anki generate the html on the cards for this if it can't tell where one field ends and the next begins? I'm guessing that it looks at the 'models' row in the 'col' table, but I still don't see how it knows how to generate the HTML and what the seperation objects are in the 'flds' column. If it's not any inconvenience to you, I'd greatly appreciate a short reply at d4nisg0d@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!

Great deck, truly a one stop shop. I would suggest adding the Kyōiku / Jōyō index to each card, not just the grade, as the kanji are taught in a specific order at school. Will make life easier for those of us who chose to follow this order rather than Heisig's. :)
Actually, why not just put all three indices on each card? RTK 1, RTK 6 and Kyōiku / Jōyō. Then everyone can choose their preferred order and have Anki sort the cards before they start studying.

Great deck! But one question about the updates . . . .
UPDATED 2/29/16: Thanks a ton! to the author for the instructions about updating card order. It was a little confusing to me at first, but I fought my way through and was able to execute the update, including reimporting Heisig stories (even though I rarely seem to use them).
I have been making a lot of progress with this wonderful deck. Many thanks to the author(s), I use this deck almost every day and it's really well-made.
However, I loaded it in Summer 2015 and I see that the card order has since been changed. I would love to be able to load the update—sometimes the kanji come up in strange order (e.g., this week I saw 河 before 可)—but I'd rather not have to start over from the beginning (I'm several hundred kanji in at this point, starting over might break my spirit).
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to load the updated deck without losing the work I've already done? Thanks in advance, and many thanks to the author(s) for continuing to tweak and improve the deck.

I have been making a lot of progress with this wonderful deck. Many thanks to the author(s), I use this deck almost every day and it's really well-made.
However, I loaded it in Summer 2015 and I see that the card order has since been changed. I would love to be able to load the update—sometimes the kanji come up in strange order (e.g., this week I saw 河 before 可)—but I'd rather not have to start over from the beginning (I'm several hundred kanji in at this point, starting over might break my spirit).

Fantastic!
Thanks for making this great deck.
Have you considered installing the Kanji Stroke Order font on the deck? http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html#installing-fonts
I'm not sure how it would work with licensing, etc., but it might make the deck a bit more user-friendly.

Something missing
Why did you left out the Heisig explanations?
It's possible to include them?

Good deck, but you need to know this!
This deck is following the EXACT order of the book 'A guide to Reading and Writing Japanese' at the first part(<440 kanji). I did not overcome this amount of kanjis right now.
Also, you >>can<< use heisig's mnemonics and kanji koohii that come with it even if you don't know some of the characters. I also recomend jisho.org to see kanji stroke order. You have to type #kanji 寒 for example, in the search.

Best Kanji List
I just wrote this review to note one mistake:
The Kanji '万' is not tagged as grade2.

Fine deck but...
OK, I'd now rate this deck 5 stars even if you use heisig, PROVIDED you follow the Heisig reordering guidelines given bellow. I'm pretty sure the poster never did Heisig or he would never recommend you mess around with that order--it would be insane to do so I know because followed his recommendation with much regret and I was referencing Kanji 2000 when was trying to learn Kanji 100 (not a real example, hopefully you see the problem). It was extremely awkward. Please also not the deck is double-sided (2 cards per kanji) and that could cause you grief if you're new to Anki. If you've done 200 cards, you've only done 100 kanji. It's a beautiful deck.

Background
In 1981 the Japanese government established a standardized list containing 1945 basic Japanese kanji characters. This list was titled the JōyōKanji-hyō (the list of commonly-used kanji). The JōyōKanji-hyō has been used to standardize Japanese printed texts including newspapers, magazines and educational materials. Two decades later, Tamaoka, Kirsner, Yanase, Miyaoka and Kawakami (2002) produced the first web-accessible database containing these 1945 standardized kanji. In 2004, using the Japanese lexical database of Amano and Kondo (1999, 2000), Tamaoka and Makioka calculated additional information (e.g. word frequencies based on the Asahi Newspaper from 1985 to 1998). As such they produced the fourth edition of the web-accessible kanji database which now included several mathematical indexes such as: entropy, redundancy and symmetry. However, recently (2010) the official Jōyō kanji list has been revised by the Japanese government. It now includes a total of 2136 Japanese kanji which are to serve as a basis for official communication in Japanese. Please refer to the details of the new Jōyō kanji available in Japanese at the Web-site of the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs: https://www.bunka.go.jp/kokugo_nihongo/sisaku/joho/joho/kijun/naikaku/kanji/joyokanjisakuin/index.html.
Present Database
Kanji lists play an important role in Japanese psycholinguistic research (e.g. Verdonschot et al., 2013). In order to make the detailed properties of the new kanji in the list available to researchers in psychology and linguistics, we have developed a novel web-accessible kanji database including an advanced corpus (i.e. Mainichi Newspaper from 2000 to 2010). The new kanji database also includes a wide range of important properties such as: kanji frequency, On- and Kun-reading frequencies, On-reading ratio, kanji productivity of two-kanji compounds, symmetry of kanji productivity, entropy, number of meanings, etc. This easy-to-use web site (https://www.kanjidatabase.com/) has especially been developed to grant effortless access to the database and allows for:
- Easy selection of kanji from the database following criteria which can be defined by the user, as well as
- Pasting of kanji (or even complete texts) and looking up specified properties from the pasted kanji in the database.
- Selection of jukugo (2 kanji combined) in different ways
- Selection of kanji and/or jukugo by means of SQL commands
- Export results as CSV or XML files
Resource
To create the current 2136 Jōyō kanji database, we used 11 years of the all-Japanese version of the Mainichi Newspaper from 2000 to 2010. The morphological parsing program MeCab0.991 counted 477,264 morphological units (type frequency) and a total token frequency of 299,695,840 out of this newspaper corpus. Excluding proper nouns from this database, the count was 368,841 for type frequency and 282,816,611 for token frequency. There are four kanji symbols which are not included in Shift Japanese Industrial Standards (Shift-JIS) (i.e.,「𠮟」「塡」「剝」「頰」) which were transformed to the same kanji symbols included in Shift-JIS (i.e.,「叱」「填」「剥」「頬」). Using the total frequency of 282,816,611 morpheme units, the present kanji database calculated the frequency of each of the 2136 commonly-used Jōyō kanji.
