I almost freaked the first time a Japanese friend of mine couldn't read a couple kanji, just to find out there were maybe hundreds more he didn't know. Made me feel a lot better knowing that I didn't have to learn everything in the dictionary. I hear there are around 4,000 commonly used kanji, and about 2,000 of those were mainly used for names. Any truth to that?
