PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a character recognition device and a character recognition method for accurately recognizing characters to be recognized even though those characters are not clear. SOLUTION: The character recognition device includes: an image acquisition means (2) for acquiring an inspection image obtained by photographing an object to be inspected; a character area detection means (34) for detecting a character area in which characters are projected from the inspection image; a stroke detection means (38) for detecting pixels matched with any of a plurality of strokes representing the partial structure of each of a plurality of characters to be recognized about at least a partial area of the character area, and for detecting the number of strokes included in at least the partial area of the character area by counting the number of the matched pixels; and a pattern identification means (39) for calculating the certainty of the respective characters to be recognized from the number of the strokes, and for deciding that the characters projected in the character area are characters whose certainty is the highest among the characters to be recognized.
