Kendo uses, I believe, the same belt grading system common throughout Japan. Like in Judo and Karate at the black belt level there are "Dan" grades.
Pretty much the same grading system used in Judo and Karate (10th to 1st kyu and 1st to 10th Dan*), the only real difference is that in kendo usually there's no difference in belt colour or anything like that, there's no way one can tell the difference between a begginer and an experienced kendoka just looking at the clothes.
*Nowadays, 8th Dan is the highest rank possible in kendo, since there are no more 9th or 10th Dan holders alive.
