Susie in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Susie in katakana

• ー is the long-vowel mark: it stretches the sound before it. In vertical writing it turns into a vertical line.
• 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.

Susie on Japanese forms

Example full name: Susie Smith → スージー・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス スージー. 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 すーじー); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ｽｰｼﾞｰ).

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.
