Japanese Vocabulary Study Page

This is a study reference for people learning Japanese vocabulary. They're listed in alphabetical order. I'm just adding to the list as I make my way through a Japanese book so that I have a place to look and review at my leisure. Please let me know of any corrections that need to be made.

Use the controls at the right to turn the romaji (R), kana (K), and the definition (D) on or off to help you study. Also, the serif control will switch between a serif font (has extra style) and a sans-serif font (without style). The controls should stay visible as you scroll the page if you have a modern browser, and Internet Explorer 6 or lower doesn't count as one.
