Do you know who the youngest person ever to finish WaniKani was?
Me ![]()
On a more serious note: He canât be younger than 14, because youâre allowed to use WK when youâre at least 13 years old, and WK takes at least one year.
Other than that, I have no clue, sorry! I think I remember reading about someone who got to level 60 when he was 16 years old, but I might be wrong on this.
Isnât that age restriction purely for the forums?
Not to mention thereâs absolutely nothing stopping you from using WK anyway, even if youâre 8 ![]()
Show me an 8 year old who is so dedicated to learn Japanese that he does WK in one year

I could make the same claim about 13 year olds, 40 year olds, or 28 year olds.
People do unexpected things at any age.
Or the oldest?
The first Level 60 post which comes to mind is this one
Not according to the terms and conditions for WaniKani, it is applicable to the WankiKani service/platform.
Hey Yamitenshi! Like mgrice said, itâs a rule for the WK forums but also included in WaniKaniâs TOS. Children under the age of 13 arenât allowed to use WaniKani. ![]()

And we all know nobody ever does anything they arenât yet allowed to. Though Iâd assume that maybe if somebody really young would post a thread saying âIâm 12 and I just finished wk, what did you achieve last yearâ, it would be promptly deleted by moderators
I mean theyâd have to convince their parents to pay for a kanji-learning website too. I guess if itâs that or RobloxâŠ
We actually came across this on the forums recently! They hadnât finished WK though.
Nope, has never happened, not even once!
-Nick at WK
welcome to the community!
also, iâm 13, so maybe iâll be the one ![]()

Nice to have you around little fella.
As I understand, it also applies to WK itself, because itâs in the license agreement for WK itselfâŠ
P. S. Sorry, I should have finished reading the thread before replying ![]()
Returning to the OP question, I think @tmninja ăă was quite young when they finished WK.
good to see you too, big guy!
yeah i was 13 when i finished⊠yo mods dont ban me but i was like 12 when i made my account
BUT i think that was before they added the 13+ thing?? this was back in like 2018. cuz i dont remember being aware of breaking any rules also im an angel child obvs
@Redglare i wouldve responded to u in that intermission poll thread but it got locked by the time i saw ur notif lol
The restriction against children younger than 13 using social media is a result of the Childrenâs Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, a US law. I wouldnât think WaniKani would have ignored that in 2018, twenty years later, though I confess I donât really know for sure.
I learned how to write scripts on Roblox and now I do computational research, so itâs not all bad. Granted, I played Roblox fifteen years ago (!) and Iâm sure itâs changed a bit since then.
