Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this study, we propose a system that automatically generates music pieces from characters in order to provide a new method of supporting the learning of kanji characters. There are 2,136 kanji characters designated for regular use in Japan, and some of them have many strokes and complicated shapes, so it takes a lot of effort to memorize them. In addition, it is inefficient in terms of time and effort to write or read kanji over and over again, which is a common method of learning kanji, and this may discourage students from learning kanji. Therefore, we thought that using music as a cue for memory reproduction would make learning more efficient. The system extracts melodic outlines from the character strokes input by the user, and generates music by loading the melodic outlines into JamSketch.
