In Japanese, foreign names are normally written phonetically using Katakana.  We offer a selection of names written in Katakana on T-shirts and sweatshirts etc. via our Printfection Kanji Zone webshop. A small selection of our T-shirts are shown below.  Please contact us if you would like to see your name added to a T-shirt at our Kanji Zone shop.

In addition, it is possible to break up a name into syllables and allocate Japanese kanji according to the sound of each syllables. There are often several kanji for one sound, so a particular name may have several combinations of kanji, each with different meaning. When translating a Western name we pick kanji to give the name a positive meaning!  Again please feel free to contact us if you would like a T-shirt customised with a name of your choice in kanji. This customising service is currently offered free of charge.
