Ramos in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Ramos in katakana

• Japanese has a single sound for English L and R, so both are written with the ラ-row (ra, ri, ru, re, ro).
• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Ramos 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.

Ramos on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Ramos → ジョン・ラモス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ラモス 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 (らもす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾗﾓｽ 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.

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.
