About Kana, Kanji, and Romanization:

There are two types of scripts in Japanese: Kanji (characters) and Kana (syllabary). While any text can be written in both Kanji and Kana, Kanji is used to write the roots of native Japanese words, namely of all main parts of speech - nouns, verbs, some pronouns, some adverbs and numerals. Kanji reflects the meaning of a word and Kana represents the pronunciation.

Romanization is a system for representing Japanese characters with the Roman/Latin alphabet. It is transliteration method, which can be used for many purposes: street signs for visiting foreigners; transcription of personal, company, or place names to be used in another language context; or even simply for typographic emphasis. English Japanese (Romanization) dictionary is an essential tool for those who are learning the language.
