Sadie in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Sadie in katakana

• Write the small ィ at about half size, in the lower left of the square (in horizontal writing). ディ is one sound, di.
• 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.

Sadie on Japanese forms

Example full name: Sadie Smith → セイディ・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス セイディ. In a フリガナ (furigana) field write it in katakana; if the field says ふりがな use hiragana (すみす せいでぃ); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｾｲﾃﾞｨ).

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.
