Vazquez in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Vazquez in katakana

• Japanese syllables end in a vowel (except ン), so the final consonant of Vazquez 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.

Vazquez on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Vazquez → ジョン・バスケス (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: バスケス 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 (ばすけす じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾊﾞｽｹｽ 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.
