You can use the remote Anki API to modify existing decks: FooSoft Productions - Anki-Connect

This helps a great deal; thank you very much! I knew Yomichan had the key somehow, but I didn’t connect that it was the same person who developed Anki-Connect!
I’ve refactored print_kanji_info() up there, and I’ve retrieved my deck and model IDs. I still have a long way to go in figuring out how to interact with Anki-Connect, but I’ve already made more progress than even I expected!
Unfortunately I haven’t had to mess with the API directly myself (I only used genanki to generate a full deck from scratch) but the docs seem fairly comprehensive so hopefully it won’t be too difficult…

Just updated the deck again to remove 繋 now that it’s in WaniKani (it’s a great choice for WaniKani since that’s a quotidian kanji that I see a lot in the wild, but it’s always a slight blow to my ego to remove them). Now there are 470 kanji in the neck. I still haven’t added all the jinmeiyō kanji (this is still also my own personal learning deck; I’m pacing myself) but there are a lot of them! As far as I know, the link’s the same as always, in the OP!

Just updated the deck yet again. It should have 545 kanji now. I added a few that I thought were part of a few interesting words, like 狗 from 天狗. The ones with the “radical” tag are kanji that I used as part of other kanji, so you might want to study those early. Enjoy!

No promises but would there exist interest in me adding fields for readings and meanings akin to WaniKani? Now that this deck weighs in at over 500 kanji, I’m starting to think I’ll need them myself. My goal is to eventually have this deck contain all the jinmeiyō kanji (except variants) and other common kanji that show up a fair bit in the wild.

It took a while but I just updated this deck with tags for each level of the kanji kentei. Six kanji in the deck don’t appear in the kanken, but the rest should be tagged. I might have made mistakes but I think it’s enough to get started. Enjoy!
Can you tell me which six? These are joyo kanji right? They should fit in somewhere.

Looking at the deck, it seems that 摑, 頰, 蠟, 脹, 錘, 銑 are the 6 that are not marked with their appropriate kanken levels. They should be levels 1.5, 2, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5 and 1.5 respectively. I would guess that the 異体字 may have caused problems for the first 3, but the latter 3 shouldn’t have that problem so I don’t know why those weren’t listed.

My kanjidic plugin says only 頰 is jouyou, the rest are just tagged jinmeiyou (and kanjipedia agrees)
Looking at wikipedia I find:
This list does not include characters that were present in older versions of the list but have since been removed (勺, 銑, 脹, 錘, 匁).
So that accounts for 銑, 脹 and 錘.
蠟 and 摑 do not appear on that page at all, so not sure why they would be considered jouyou?
I was assuming they were joyo from the thread title. But all jimneiyou are definitely in Kanken as pointed out above. Kanken covers like 4000 more kanji beyond the joyo.
For instance here’s the kanjipedia page for 蠟, which shows the Kanken level.

There’s an updated version of it as well (蝋) which maybe threw things off? Similarly with 摑 and 掴

Yeah I would certainly have made the same assumption! I wonder how they ended up in there.
As for the kanken I know very little of it but it certainly would be strange not to have full jinmeiyou coverage.
My bad! I was using nihongo-pro dot com to look up each kanji individually. I somehow didn’t know Kanji Pedia existed. I just updated the deck with that information, so thank you.
I added 怜 and two other kanji to this newest edition, but for 怜, instead of using “actor” (which is inaccurate), I intentionally changed the meaning to “musician, clever” as my rough translation of the two Kanji Pedia definitions. I checked—their definition is identical to that of the Kanken Kanji Dictionary.
I’ll similarly update other meanings and readings as I encounter them. I was using Jisho but moving forward, I’ll favor Kanji Pedia and the Kanken dictionary.
I know this quote was referring to the kanken list but it felt like the best place to say this… My current goal is to get all the non-variant jinmeiyou kanji in this deck. Then Jisho’s top 2500, then however many kanken kanji before I lose interest or die of old age. I have about 230 kanji to go. Here are the ones I have yet to add:

I think my deck has every kanji up to kanken level 2 that isn’t in WaniKani. But that was using nihongo-pro, which, as I now know, has inaccuracies.

Just updated this sucker again: here.
I didn’t get as far as I’d hoped since I have a lot of irons in a lot of fires. I’ll try to keep working on it. Maybe I’ll update this again in a year. If so, someone please remind me that my license tabs are also due this month.
