Hunt in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Hunt 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 Hunt becomes ト (to). 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.

Hunt on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Hunt → ジョン・ハント (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ハント 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 (はんと じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾊﾝﾄ 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.

No. Foreign names have no official kanji; they are written in katakana. Kanji versions offered online (ateji) are chosen only for sound and look, and their "meanings" are made up, so this site does not provide them.
