Katakana (çä»®å, ã«ã¿ã«ã) is a Japanese syllabary, one component of the Japanese writing system along with hiragana, kanji, and in some cases the Latin script (known as romaji). The word katakana means fragmentary kana, as the katakana characters are derived from components of more complex kanji.Katakana and hiragana are both kana systems. With one or two minor exceptions, each syllable (strictly mora) in the Japanese language is represented by one character, or kana, in each system.ach kana is either a vowel such as  a  (katakana ã¢); a consonant followed by a vowel such as  ka  (katakana ã«); or  n  (katakana ã³), a nasal sonorant which, depending on the context, sounds either like English m, n, or ng ([Å]), or like the nasal vowels of Spanish and/or Portuguese.
The katakana syllabary consists of 48 syllables and was originally considered men's writing. Since the 20th century, katakana have been used mainly to write non-Chinese loan words, onomatopoeic words, foreign names, in telegrams and for emphasis (the equivalent of bold, italic or upper case text in English).Before the 20th century all foreign loanwords were written with kanji.he katakana syllabary was derived from abbreviated Chinese characters used by Buddhist monks to indicate the correct pronunciations of Chinese texts in the 9th century. At first there were many different symbols to represent one syllable of spoken Japanese, but over the years the system was streamlined.
