Aimee in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Aimee in katakana

• ー is the long-vowel mark: it stretches the sound before it. In vertical writing it turns into a vertical line.
• Katakana is written left to right like English, or top to bottom in vertical text. Keep every character the same size except the small ones.

Aimee on Japanese forms

Example full name: Aimee Smith → エイミー・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス エイミー. In a フリガナ (furigana) field write it in katakana; if the field says ふりがな use hiragana (すみす えいみー); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｴｲﾐｰ).

Japan has no official katakana spelling for foreign names. Once you use a spelling for a bank account, phone contract or employer, keep using the same one so your records match.
