Numbers in Japanese There are two sets of numbers in Japanese: the native Japanese system and the Sino-Japanese system. The Sino-Japanese numbers are used in combination with counter words (助数詞 josūshi), when counting things, actions and events.
When counting there are different forms of the native numbers from 1-10, and there are also different forms of these numbers for dates. The native Japanese numbers are usually only used up to 10. The Western (Arabic) numerals are generally used in horizontal texts, while the Kanji numerals are used in vertical texts. Click on any of the numbers that are links (blue) to hear them spoken.
