'''け''', in [[hiragana]], or '''ケ''' in [[katakana]], is one of the Japanese [[kana]], each of which represents one [[Mora (linguistics)|mora]]. Both represent {{IPA|[ke]}}. The shape of these kana come from the kanji 計 and 介, respectively.
 
A [[dakuten]] may be added to this character; this changes it to げ in hiragana, ゲ in katakana, ''ge'' in [[Hepburn romanization]], and the pronunciation shifts to {{IPA|[ɡe]}} in initial positions, and varying between {{IPA|[ŋe]}} and {{IPA|[ɣe]}} in the middle of words.
 
A [[handakuten]] (゜) does not occur with ''ke'' in normal Japanese text, but it may be used by linguists to indicate a [[nasal stop|nasal]] pronunciation {{IPA|[ŋe]}}.
