Tucker in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Tucker in katakana

• ー is the long-vowel mark: it stretches the sound before it. In vertical writing it turns into a vertical line.
• The small ッ is a short pause that doubles the next consonant. Write it half size; a full-size ツ would be read "tsu".
• 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.

Tucker on Japanese forms

Example full name: Tucker Smith → タッカー・スミス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: スミス タッカー. 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 たっかー); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ｽﾐｽ ﾀｯｶｰ).

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.
