See your name written in katakana — the Japanese alphabet used for foreign names
This tool transliterates your name into Katakana (カタカナ) using standard phonetic mapping rules. It converts each syllable of your English name into the closest equivalent Japanese characters.
The transliteration follows standard conventions used for foreign names in Japanese. For common names, the result will match what a native Japanese speaker would write. Unusual names may have slight variations.
While this tool provides a good phonetic approximation, we recommend verifying with a native Japanese speaker before getting a permanent tattoo. Transliteration can sometimes have multiple valid options.
