yō-on The yō-on, also written as yōon, is a feature of the Japanese language in which a mora is formed with an added sound, i.e., palatalized, or with an added sound, i.e. labialized. Yōon are represented in hiragana using a kana ending in i, such as き (ki) or に (ni), plus a smaller version of one of the three y kana, ya, yu or yo. For example, kyō, "today" (今日), is written きょう [kʲoo], using a small version of the yo kana, よ. Contrast this with kiyō, "skillful" (器用), which is written きよう [kijoo]
