Does anyone know how to add Kana symbols in Japanese text?

I am creating a form in Japanese for children. It is suggested that I add "Kana" to make it easier for them to read. Anyone know how to do this? It looks like little symbols above the Japanese character/s.

    In general, fonts are installed by your operating system and they may then be used by all programs

    You might search Microsoft – Official Home Page for help with installing fonts in Windows

    In case using fonts are program specific, what program are you using to create your form?
