This is how to draw the character "Ka". It is composed of three strokes.
- The first stroke is across, then curves down, terminating in a slight upswing.
- The second stroke is down.
- The third stroke is a downward, left-to-right diagonal.
- With two dots (called nigori) it becomes "Ga".
- Ka in hiragana
is quite similar to Ka in katakana
