pykakasi is a Python Natural Language Processing (NLP) library that transliterates Japanese text (hiragana, katakana, and kanji) into rōmaji (Latin/Roman alphabet). It supports NFC-normalized characters and is based on the C-language kakasi library. The current version is 2.3.0, and while there isn't a strict release cadence, updates are made as needed.
