If you really want to study japanese, learn hiragana and katakana first, it will make things a lot easier, trust me.
Most of the content avaible out there have romaji (how to read with roman letters) these days, but as you progress, this can really hurt your reading with real japanese alphabet. It is good for the start, but not in the long run. For pronunciation, watch videos on YT to get it right, no mystery here.
For kanji, it is good to learn a few from the start, like pronouns, some verbs and nouns. The basic.
I learned the writing system first and I was already able to read examples in hiragana and some kanjis, so it was a big help. There is a lot of good content out there without romaji, so knowing the alphabet was good.
But that just my opinion.
