There are three components to Japanese writing. The normal alphabet, hiragana, which has less strokes and is much curvier and more flowing; Kanji, which originated in china, and is more complicated and tends to be blockier and sharper, and katakana, which is for mimicking English and other foreign languages, as most of their sounds are hard t pronounce for Japanese people. Katakana is much like the hiragana, although sharper.
hiragana: ひらがな
kanji: 漢字
katakana: カタカナ
