Japanese keyboard suggestions
The Japanese 12 key keyboard seems to have quite a small dictionary. Compare to something like Mozc or gboard. For example if I type あかさ I get about 21 suggestions but on the default apple keyboard I get lots more suggestions. Without these suggestions it's impossible or very difficult to type some words. Maybe the Japanese input can use mozc or something for suggestions/kanji completions?
I attached a screenshot of efkey and also 2 of apple keyboard completions.
Thanks so much for this great software!

The dictionary was already the full Mozc one, but the list only showed the top 20 or so matches and never offered kanji for just the start of what you typed, so 赤 or 阿 never showed up for あかさ. Fixed for 2.2.1, the next App Store update: the expanded list now shows up to 100 candidates, including single kanji, and ends with candidates for the shorter start (赤, 紅, アカ, then 亜, 阿) that convert only that part and leave the rest for you to keep typing.
Amazing thanks. Is there any downside do you think of allowing this to be unlimited or configurable?
yeah, I have to watch performance and the iOS limits - RAM
