  • Because チュートリアル is a loanword, it is written in katakana, a script used primarily for foreign words and onomatopoeia rather than the standard kanji or hiragana.
  • While チュートリアル is used for software, Japanese gamers often use the loanword チュートリアル specifically to describe the mandatory introductory level of a video game.
