Scott in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Scott in katakana

• The small ッ is a short pause that doubles the next consonant. Write it half size; a full-size ツ would be read "tsu".
• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Scott becomes ト (to). 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.

Scott on Japanese forms

Example full name: Scott Smith → スコット・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス スコット. 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 すこっと); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｽｺｯﾄ).

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.
