Description

Kanji Info Populator Copied files from Migaku Kanji God all credit goes to them

Automatically populates a KanjiInfo field on your Anki notes with rich kanji data including meanings, radicals, primitives, primitive relationships, and vocabulary examples — displayed as styled HTML cards.

Features

Kanji character display with primary meaning and secondary meanings
Radicals breakdown with furigana labels
Primitives with hover tooltips (keywords, meanings, alternatives, primitive-in)
Collapsible "Primitive In" list
Vocabulary examples with furigana
Auto-populates on startup, when browsing, and during review
Manual bulk populate via menu
Configurable note type, field names

Auto-population hooks

On Anki startup — silently fills all notes with an empty KanjiInfo field in the background
On browser row select — populates immediately when viewing a note in the card browser
On card review — final fallback, populates just before a card is reviewed

Setup

Install the addon
Add a KanjiInfo field to your note type if it doesn't exist already
Add {{KanjiInfo}} to your card template where you want it to appear
Go to Kanji Info → Settings and set your note type name, expression field name, and target field name
Run Kanji Info → Populate KanjiInfo Fields to fill all existing notes
New cards will auto-populate from that point on
