Wikipedia definition
16. Ka (kana)​か, in hiragana, or カ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both represent [ka ka]. The shapes of these kana both originate from 加. The character can be combined with a dakuten, to form が in hiragana, ガ in katakana, and ga in Hepburn romanization. The phonetic value of the modified character is [ɡa ɡa] in initial positions, and varying between [ŋa ŋa] and [ɣa ɣa] in the middle of words.
