Baker in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Baker 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.

Baker on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Baker → ジョン・ベイカー (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ベイカー ジョン. In a フリガナ (furigana) field write it in katakana; if the field says ふりがな use hiragana (べいかー じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾍﾞｲｶｰ ｼﾞｮﾝ).

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.
