Key Points

To examine whether kanji readings can facilitate the reconstruction of kana-phoneme correspondence in a patient with conduction aphasia who is unresponsive to standard kana-based phonological training.
Implemented a novel speech-language rehabilitation protocol utilizing kanji reading pathways to bypass defective direct kana-to-syllable associations.
Assessed longitudinal recovery and training progression in a single individual presenting with conduction aphasia and severe phonological processing impairment (N=1).
Enabled successful re-establishment of kana-to-phoneme correspondence by leveraging preserved reading pathways associated with kanji characters.
Showed that orthographic characteristics unique to kanji can overcome communication blocks when direct kana-syllable mapping fails.
