There is disclosed a character rendering device capable of rendering characters at a higher speed. The character rendering device includes an internal storage unit including plural storage areas; a first bus connected through an external bus to an external storage unit storing character shape data sets, each expressing a shape of a character; a second bus connected to the internal storage unit; a controller that specifies one of the plural storage areas; a first rendering unit connected to the first and second buses, that renders a character shape of a character based on one of the character shape data sets supplied through the external bus and the first bus, and writes through the second bus the rendered character shape into one of the storage areas specified by the controller; a second rendering unit connected to the second bus, reads through the second bus, each time when writing of a character shape into one of the plural storage areas is completed by the first rendering unit, the character shape from one of the plural storage areas, and renders a character based on the read character shape; and a transfer unit that transfers the character rendered by the second rendering unit.
