The Japanese alphabet is usually referred to as kana, specifically hiragana and katakana.
The Hiragana consists of 48 syllables, it is a phonetic alphabet where each alphabetic combination represents just a single sound. Thus any Japanese word can be written in a way that can be read without having to remember how the word is pronounced. So the Japanese kana are much simpler, the way something is written is the way it sounds. There is also Kanji, a Japanese system of writing based on borrowed or slightly modified Chinese characters.

Katakana Syllables (Alphabet)

Katakana are most often used for transcription of words in foreign languages. used to represent sounds, technical and scientific terms.

Katakana's main feature is short straight strokes and angular corners, that’s why Katakana is considered the simplest of the Japanese scripts.

For a modern Katakana there was a necessity to add some sounds, below is a list of additions to the katakana, used mainly to represent sounds from other languages:

Kanji Characters (Alphabet)

Kanji are used together with three other systems to write modern Japanese, Kanji which is a Japanese system of writing based on borrowed or slightly modified Chinese characters is used to write parts of the language such as nouns, adjective stems and verb stems. For Kanji characters refers to the Chinese characters.

ONE-MAN HELICOPTER
Japanese Make World’s Smallest 
One-Man Helicopter
A Japanese company called Gen Corpor
ation has created what people are calling 
the world's smallest one-man helicopter, capable of flying 50km/h and weighs 
(by itself) 75kg. As you can see from the photo, it's probably the world's most 
dangerous helicopter too, as the man has barely any piping to stand on and barely 
any seat to sit on. 
Then again, if GTA4 has taught us anything, using a helicopter is 
the easiest and fastest way to travel.
