Anthy (Japanese:アンシー,romanized: Anshī) is a package for aninput method editor backend for Unix-like systems for theJapanese language. It can convertHiragana to Kanji as per the language rules. As a preconversion stage, Latin characters (Romaji) can be used to input Hiragana. Anthy is commonly used with an input method framework such asibus,fcitx orSCIM.

As of January 2014,ibus-anthy is mature and stable, and can be used to author Japanese documents inLibreOffice version 4.1 by typingRomaji on a U.S. keyboard into a U.S. English localizedLibreOffice installation. TheRomaji is converted toHiragana on-the-fly, and theHiragana is likewise optionally converted toKanji, with multipleKanji equivalents presented for selection. The interface is well integrated intoLibreOffice.

Anthy isfree software released under theGNU GPL v2.

The input method is named afterAnthy Himemiya, a character from the animeRevolutionary Girl Utena.^[1]
