The modern Japanese writing system uses a combination of logographic kanji, which are adopted Chinese characters, and syllabic kana.Kana itself consists of a pair of syllabaries: hiragana, used primarily for native or naturalized Japanese words and grammatical elements; and katakana, used primarily for foreign words and names, loanwords, onomatopoeia, scientific names, and sometimes for emphasis.

The hiragana character き, like さ, is drawn with the lower line either connected or disconnected. A dakuten may be added to the character; this transforms it into ぎ in hiragana, ギ in katakana, and gi in Hepburn romanization. The phonetic value also changes, to [ɡi] in initial, and varying between [ŋi] and [ɣi] in the middle of words.
け, (in hiragana) or ケ, (in katakana) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora.Both represent [ke].The shape of these kana come from the kanji 計 and 介, respectively.

Their shapes have origins in the character 也. When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents a palatalization of the preceding consonant sound with the [a] vowel (see yōon). [1] や can be used by itself as a grammatical particle to connect words in a nonexhaustive list (see Japanese particles#ya).
