Kanji characters. Kanji characters are logographic characters that represent whole words or ideas in the Japanese writing system.
Much of the Japanese written language is based on kanji. The Kanji came from China. The Japanese then added Katakana and Hirakana to provide additional ways of writing.

Writing?? It is Kanji they are similar
Kanji, Chinese characters.
Hiragana, Katakana , Kanji
Japanese kanji and Chinese characters are very much the same. Japanese has 3 alphabets- hiragana (which is used for everyday writing), katakana (used for English words like "terebi" which is television), and kanji which is used instead of hiragana for nouns and adjectives etc. However, Chinese only have kanji, although they call it something else. The reason they are so alike is because the Japanese borrowed that alphabet off the Chinese, so a lot of Chinese characters will have the same meaning as Japanese kanji, although they will be pronounced differently.
I'm pretty sure that it's kanji.
4 - Hiragana, Kanji, Katakana and Romaji
The Japanese use three writing systems: hiragana (cursive), katakana (print), and kanji (borrowed from the Chinese).
Well, English is a European language, and Japanese is an Asian language. When each language / writing system was created, they had most likely no contact what-so-ever with each other. If you and a friend had to create your own writing systems without knowing anything about the others, I'm willing to bet they would look nothing alike.
