Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

かい
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading is the on'yomi reading which you learned with the kanji. This is probably because this word gets attached to numbers usually, which makes it behave more like jukugo. So, you can have 1回, 2回, 3回, or even 100回 if you're into that sort of thing.
