Campos in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Campos in katakana

• ソ (so) and ン (n) look alike. In ソ the long stroke falls from the top right; in ン it rises from the bottom left.
• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Campos becomes ス (su). Say it lightly.
• 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.

Campos on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Campos → ジョン・カンポス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: カンポス 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 (かんぽす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｶﾝﾎﾟｽ 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.
