kakasi.setMode("J","a") # Japanese to ascii, default: no conversion
kakasi.setMode("r","Hepburn") # default: use Hepburn Roman table
kakasi.setMode("s", True) # add space, default: no separator
kakasi.setMode("C", True) # capitalize, default: no capitalize
conv = kakasi.getConverter()
result = conv.do(text)

You can use output Mode values from “H”, “K”, “a” which is each means “Hiragana”, “Katakana” and “Alphabet”. For input, you can use “J” that means “Japanese” that is mixture of Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana. Also there is values of “H”, “K” that means “Hiragana”, and “Katakana”.
