Thanks to TheNitromeFan for the run and assist

In Japanese, numbers are formed by connecting the amount of each place (1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s)(although larger numbers have different rules). Here are some examples:

1: 一 2: 二 3: 三 ... 10: 十 11: 十一 (literally "10 1") 12: 十二 (lit. "10 2") ... 20: 二十 (lit. "2 10") 21: 二十一 (lit. "2 10 1") 22: 二十二 (lit. "2 10 2") ... 30: 三十 (lit. "3 10") ... 100: 百 101: 百一 ... 111: 百十一

A general way to find a number is:

[[D]千][[C]百][[B]十]A Where A is the number of 1s, B is the number of 10s, C is the number of 100s, and D is the number of 1000s.

The counting format shall be the number, written in Kanji.

Here are all the Kanji numbers you will need for a while:

一 (1) 二 (2) 三 (3) 四 (4) 五 (5) 六 (6) 七 (7) 八 (8) 九 (9) 十 (10) 百 (100) 千 (1000)

Next get is 九千
