Editor's Overview

Sumire Japanese Keyboard Lite F-Droid is a keyboard & ime application developed by Kazuma Naka, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.7 weighing in at 57.49 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 57.49 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Kazuma Naka" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Sumire is a Japanese keyboard for people who want local-first input and predictable behavior. Typing, conversion, personalization, and learning data stay on the device.

The Lite F-Droid build focuses on the core keyboard experience:
- kana and romaji input with Japanese candidate conversion
- user dictionary and reusable text snippets
- clipboard-based helpers and customizable keyboard layouts
- emoji and symbol keyboards

This flavor excludes the optional Zenz and Gemma model features so it can be distributed on F-Droid with the free-software components needed for everyday typing.

The app does not request Internet access. Voice input uses the microphone permission only when you choose to use speech recognition provided by your device.
