Thought it would be fun to share some analysis work I’ve been doing recently. I analyzed 3219 [syosetu.com](https://syosetu.com) stories to find the most common Kanji and Tango.
**私** was the **#1 most common kanji**.
私 is also used on its own **99.13%** of the time! Kind of interesting (see below for percentages)
​
Here are the top 5 (out of 40) most common words with 私 in them from the stories.
* **Word # Occurrences How often used**
* 私 used 124967 times (99.13% of the time)
* 私室 used 199 times (0.16% of the time)
* 私物 used 188 times (0.15% of the time)
* 私的 used 117 times (0.09% of the time)
* 私兵 used 80 times (0.06% of the time)
​
Maybe not the most interesting thing you’ve read today, but I thought it would be fun to share 🙂 Happy to answer questions about the process if anyone is interested. I will also probably post more about the analysis over time.

Just realized I said most common “word” in the title. I meant Kanji. My Bad!
私 was also the most commonly used word though 🙂
I love that romanization (I know it is not yours but).
