"Keigai" is a database of extrasolar planets additionally performing calculations with known planet and host star parameters. The program also extracts transiting planets and predicts date and time of transits over a period of 30 such events. Local time, azimuth and altitude calculations for transits require input of geographical coordinates and time zone. The desktop version allows printing the data of a selected exoplanet or the entire planet database.

Keigai supports Google Sky by saving KML files for a single exoplanet or the entire database as an overlay.

The database files and Keigai itself (CAB) can be updated online. The large size of the installer owes to the fact that each planet in the database is accompanied by an image of its host star.
