The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new keyboard that eliminates such conventional drawbacks, has good operability, and has fewer keys to operate. At least some of the keys have two kana characters written on each key at the top and bottom of the key top, and the keyboard is divided into two types: one for left-handed input and one for right-handed input. A first shift key is provided on either the left or right side of the classification, a second shift key is provided on the opposite side from the first shift key, and character keys to which the kana, numbers, etc. are assigned. The shift keys are arranged so that they can be operated with a finger other than the thumb, and the shift keys are arranged so that they can be operated with the thumb, and the character keys for kana input are assigned so that kana, which is a voiced sound, are not placed on the same key repeatedly. The assigned characters on one side are input by operating only the predetermined character keys, and the characters on the other side assigned to each character key are entered by operating the predetermined character key and the shift key provided on the same side as the key. A keyboard characterized in that a voiced sound character is input by simultaneously operating a character key to which a kana that becomes a voiced sound is assigned and a shift key provided on the opposite side of the key. This is achieved by
