Sometimes when we type in a foreign loanword, the Japanese input system doesn't realize it and gives us some random kanji. Luckily there is a quick hotkey for getting instant katakana. Read on to find out what it is.

That's very handy, thanks!
No problema!
First I must thank Thomas for providing this useful post and for allowing a newbie like me a forum to ask how I can enable this on my computer in the first place. If anyone one else has the same question the answer is in the comments to this post.
Thanks again, Thomas!
My pleasure! Have a safe journey to Japan next month!
I thought everyone knew that! It's my favourite key on the Japanese keyboard.
Now if only someone could tell me why whenever I press the kanji button on my home PC I always go into Romaji mode so then have to use the カタカナ/うらがな/ローマ字 key to get it to work properly.
And a bonus tip - go into the IME config dialog - right click the toolbar, choose Settings/設定, Properties/プロパティ, Dictionary/辞書・学習 and from the list box click on 郵便番号辞書. Now if you type in your post code (with a hyphen, and don't use the numeric keypad) and hit space, it will convert to the address. You can also turn on the 顔文字 dictionary for more fun. ＼(゜ロ＼)ココハドコ?
