Suarez in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Suarez 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 Suarez 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.

Suarez on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Suarez → ジョン・スアレス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スアレス 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 (すあれす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽｱﾚｽ 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.
