It was originally hosted on Google Code until Google Code was canceled and everything was migrated to GitHub. Rikaichan was a Firefox extension that emulated the popup translations of RikaiXUL. It was the best Japanese-to-English inline translation tool in the browser. I started with the idea that I would create the Chrome equivalent of Rikaichan from scratch using my own ideas. However, after I tried Rikaichan, I realized that it was already quite good, and starting from scratch would be wasting the excellent work of its developers. Instead, I forked Rikaichan and updated the APIs to work with the Chrome extension model. In 2018, Firefox killed the extension model that Rikaichan was based on, but other similar extensions have since been created and ported to various browsers. Not much was happening with rikaikun during that time but we've started to work on it again!
