Pixiv Encyclopedia for Yomitan

Pixiv Encyclopedia for Yomitan is a conversion of the public Pixiv Encyclopedia (ピクシブ百科事典) of over 630,000 entries for Yomitan. The encyclopedia is quite extensive, with a focus on popular culture but containing entries for many proper nouns. For instance, 和泉妃愛 has an entry as does likely every notable VTuber, media franchise, and mountain in Japan.

A new release of Pixiv for Yomitan is automatically created daily using data sourced from the updated dumps at pixiv-dump.

Built using yomichan-dict-builder.

Usage

• You can download the latest release from the releases page.
  • The Pixiv release is the full version of the encyclopedia, containing both the short summary as well as the 概要 if applicable and 関連記事.
  • The PixivLight release is a lightweight version (though still quite large) of the encyclopedia, omitting the 概要 and 関連記事 to save on storage space.
  • An MDict version of the dictionary from 2024-02-20 converted by an anon is available here.

Important

These dictionaries are quite large and may take 2-20+ minutes to import depending on your device. After import, as much as 500MB+ of storage may be consumed by Yomitan.

Development

This project uses Bun as the runtime instead of Node.js for better performance and memory efficiency when building large dictionaries.

Setup

1. Install Bun: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
2. Install dependencies: bun install
3. Build the project: bun run build
4. Build the dictionary: bun run buildPixiv or bun run buildPixivLight

Development Mode

Create a .env file (optional) and set NODE_ENV=dev. When in development mode, the exported dictionary will contain fewer entries (limited to 100) for faster exports and faster load times in Yomitan.
