In Japanese, the alphabet is written in a script called "katakana" or "hiragana", not in kanji characters. Kanji characters are used for writing words borrowed from Chinese. Each katakana or hiragana character represents a syllable sound rather than a specific letter like in the Western alphabet.

What is Japanese Kanji?

Kanji is a symbolic type alphabet used by the Japanese to write. It is derived from the Chinese written symbols and has many similarities with Chinese. Each symbol has a meaning or whole word associated with it, as opposed to the English alphabet where we only have individual letters that don't mean anything on their own. The Japanese have 4 writing systems: 1. Hiragana (for native Japanese words) 2. Katakana (for foreign/imported words and to emphasise a word) 3. Kanji (symbolic alphabet) 4. Romaji (This is essentially the English alphabet that they include in some of their day-to-day life, mostly numbers) Kanji contains up to 40,000 different symbols, but most Japanese know between 1,000-4,000.
