Built with love, by a family

How it started

It began with Little ABC — one mom's project to help her own little boy learn his first letters in a way that felt like play, not homework. Bright, gentle, screen-light, and full of joy.

One family, many languages

Chibi Sakura brings that same idea to Japanese-speaking families. It's part of a growing family of first-alphabet apps from KK Studio — one for each language a child might grow up with — with the same calm design, the same offline-first promise, and warm native Japanese audio.

More than just an app

Chibi Sakura is not meant to replace books — we love real books. But in a world full of screens, why not make screen time meaningful? The whole family can sit together, tap through letters, play games, read stories, and trace letters side by side.

Because the best way to learn is together.
