Medina in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Medina in katakana

• 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.

Medina on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Medina → ジョン・メディナ (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: メディナ 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 (めでぃな じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾒﾃﾞｨﾅ 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.
