Jimenez in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Jimenez in katakana

• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Jimenez 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.

Jimenez on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Jimenez → ジョン・ヒメネス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ヒメネス 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 (ひめねす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾋﾒﾈｽ 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.
