Handwritten character recognition is considered a complex problem since one’s handwritten character has its characteristics. Data used for this research was a photo of handwritten or scanned handwritten. In this research, Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) was used to recognize handwritten Batak Toba character, wherein preprocessing stage feature extraction was done using Diagonal Based Feature Extraction (DBFE) to obtain feature value. Furthermore, the feature value will be used as an input to BPNN. The total number of data used was190 data, where 114 data was used for the training process and another 76 data was used for testing. From the testing process carried out, the accuracy obtained was 87,19 %.
