There are basically three alphabets in Japan: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Hiragana is what's first learned, and is one of the easiest. Katakana has the same amount of characters and same pronounciations as hiragana, but written different. Katakana is often used for foreign words. Kanji is the alphabet that is Chinese characters. The kanji alphabet is endless, but Japanese and Chinese kanji are not the same. There's the Japanese meaning and Chinese meaning. Most people when writing will use all three alphabets at the same time.
