This research aims to develop a digital module of Japanese kanji learning based on the Kanji- GO application aimed at elementary and middle level students. This application is designed to support the independent learning process and improve the understanding and mastery of kanji according to the needs of learners at both levels. The development method used is the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model, which allows for systematic and structured product development. The population in this study was 32 students, which were divided into two classes: elementary and intermediate levels. The instruments used in the study include validation of linguists, materials, and media, as well as feasibility assessments through product trials. The feasibility results show that the Kanji-GO application is considered "good" by experts in terms of appearance, function, and suitability of the material with the curriculum. Meanwhile, the learning outcomes of both classes showed significant improvement, indicating that the app is effective in helping with kanji mastery and is worth developing.
