Is the ー (ちょうおん) character used with Hiragana and Kanji?


It appears that the character is limited to Katakana. Is the character used in
writing Hiragana and Kanji?




You're right that it is normally used in katakana, but it can sometimes be
used in hiragana words, as a point of emphasis, to lengthen a sound more than
it normally would be:

うぜー  
かわいいー  
なのだー

You can add it to い adjectives. Otherwise, the word in question is generally
written out in hiragana rather than in kanji, but it is apparently alright to
add it directly to a kanji for emphasis or silliness:

長いー  
大きいー  
怖いー

馬ー鹿ー！
