Toiro is a comparison tool of Japanese tokenizers.
It also provides useful functions for natural language processing in Japanese.

Python 3.6+ is required. You can install toiro with the following command. Janome is included in the default installation.
pip install toiro
If you want to add a tokenizer to toiro, please install it individually. This is an example of adding SudachiPy and nagisa to toiro.
pip install sudachipy sudachidict_core
pip install nagisa
pip install mecab-python3==0.996.5
pip install spacy ginza
pip install spacy[ja]
You need to install KyTea. Please refer to here.
pip install kytea
You need to install Juman++ v2. Please refer to here.
pip install pyknp
pip install sentencepiece
pip install fugashi ipadic
pip install fugashi unidic-lite
pip install tinysegmenter3
If you want to install all the tokonizers at once, please use the following command.
pip install toiro[all_tokenizers]
You can check the available tokonizers in your Python environment.
from toiro import tokenizers
available_tokenizers = tokenizers.available_tokenizers()
print(available_tokenizers)
Toiro supports 12 different Japanese tokonizers. This is an example of adding SudachiPy and nagisa.

Download the livedoor news corpus and compare the processing speed of tokenizers.
from toiro import tokenizers
from toiro import datadownloader
# A list of avaliable corpora in toiro
corpora = datadownloader.available_corpus()
print(corpora)
#=> ['livedoor_news_corpus', 'yahoo_movie_reviews', 'amazon_reviews']
# Download the livedoor news corpus and load it as pandas.DataFrame
corpus = corpora[0]
datadownloader.download_corpus(corpus)
train_df, dev_df, test_df = datadownloader.load_corpus(corpus)
texts = train_df[1]
# Compare the processing speed of tokenizers
report = tokenizers.compare(texts)

tokenizers.print_words(text, delimiter="|")

You can use all tokenizers by building a docker container from Docker Hub.
docker run --rm -it taishii/toiro /bin/bash
Run the Python interpreter.
