Your Name in Japanese
Would you like to know how your name is written and pronounced in Japanese?
Western names are written in Katakana in Japanese. This applies to personal names, but also to words borrowed from other languages. For example, the German ‘Baumkuchen’ becomes the Japanese 「バウムクーヘン (Baumukūhen)」.
