Wright in Japanese Katakana

Tips for writing Wright 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 Wright 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.

Wright on Japanese forms

Example full name: John Wright → ジョン・ライト (Western order, names separated by ・).

Most Japanese forms put the family name first: ライト 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 (らいと じょん); some bank and card forms ask for half-width katakana (ﾗｲﾄ 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.

FAQ

How do you write Wright in Japanese?

Wright is usually written ライト (raito) in katakana, the script Japanese uses for foreign names. In hiragana it is らいと.

Is there a kanji for Wright?

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.
