Yomichan turns your browser into a tool for building Japanese language literacy by helping you to decipher texts which would be otherwise too difficult tackle. It features a robust dictionary with EPWING and flashcard creation support.
Helps immensely, especially with kanji!
Though occasionally some kanji and slang words aren’t able to be read or defined by Yomichan, it works most of the time and helps me infer meaning of sentences if I don’t know a word.
Insanely good, brilliant support for custom dictionaries and anki, if you don’t have this extension you are seriously missing out!
This is one of the most essential tools to reach fluency fast. Thank you so much for creating this.
Indispensable
I’ve used it for years, incredibly useful.
Edit：Awesome
This is what every serious Japanese learner needs on their computer.
Thanks for the best extension
A must have
Perfect for customization and for detaching yourself from monolingual dictionaries.
Works perfectly with J-J dictionaries and I appreciate the recursive lookup feature. Very customizable too!
This add-on combined with anki is great!
Yomichan is great improvement over rikai-kun’s family, with Anki integration and you can also add another dictionaries too!. While it’s not 100% perfect, this is a must have ext for JP learners. Also if you have any trouble, the devs is on github and ready to help.
Easy to use and works wonderfully!
It’s very very good, but I’ve stumbled upon a bug that kind of broke my Yomichan. The CTRL C function to copy and automatically search for a word or kanji stopped working. I have to manually paste it in a separate tab inside the browser and click “search”, it’s a drag. To be more specific, I was using it perfectly inside Anki’s ambient during reviews. But now I have to manually paste and search. These manual searches add up quickly, and seconds become precious minutes. Still, excellent extension. Lots of customization options and very user-friendly.
It took me a very long time to set up but it was worth it!
Recently, there has been a lot of trouble, so it can’t be used
After trying it again a few times, it stopped working after a day or two
If developers see this comment, hopefully they can improve it.
Thank you
So many errors just to install a dictionary. Googling the error would lead to a 3 pages worth of code on a Github website, yeah I think I’ll pass on that.
I can’t believe I’ve wasted years using rikai kun
I’d like to share the converted Kenkyusha Japanese-English ebwin dictioary.

After hours of searching and trying, i have successfully found the ebwin Kenkyusha source and imported this to my yomichan,quite useful and powerful.
Besides,dear author, I am from China and using payment tool called Alipay or Wechat.
Could it possible to make the donation methods including this?
What’s more, i recommand there should be a search function in the pop-out interface.
Thank you.
I know using downloaded dictionaries is probably so it works offline, which is useful, but is there any chance you’ll add an option to connect to an online database instead (jisho.org is good for example) instead to free up space used by downloaded dictionaries?
Not sure if the update did it, but lookup feature is finally working perfectly on touchsceen devices!
Also, the ability to look up inside japanese dictionaries is great- there is one problem though: If you use the ‘add to anki’ feature after looking up a word IN the jp dict, it ends up extracting the definition in yomichan as the sentence- not the original sentence.
eg. If you want to mine 僕の走りが素早いだ and look up 走り which says 走ること , clicking on 走る to get the real definition and clicking on add anki- the sentence that gets added is ‘走ること’
I am really glad to know that new features are still being added.
Very fully-featured. Does everything I want it to with Anki, including great custom card template scripting support.
Learned Japanese through yomichan + novel mining from 0 to n1+
Since the past month, I have received ‘This extension has been corrupted. Reinstall” 3 times, I would really appreciate if it gets fixed as setting up my Anki format + J-J dictionaries each time is super time consuming.
The shift key is a nightmare to get working. It seems you need to press it at a very specific position or it doesn’t work.
