Munoz in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Munoz in katakana

• Write the small ョ at about half size, in the lower left of the square (in horizontal writing). ニョ is one sound, nyo.
• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Munoz 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.

Munoz on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Munoz → ジョン・ムニョス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ムニョス 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 (むにょす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾑﾆｮｽ 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.
