Questions about Mithun in Japanese
How do you write Mithun in Japanese?

What are the best kanji for Mithun?
Our top pick is 実寿 (Misu). 実 means “fruit” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 実澄 (Misu) and 実透 (Misu).
Is 実寿 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 実寿 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Biju and Mikoto rather than Misu. As a spelling of Mithun, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.
How many strokes is 実寿?
実寿 has 15 strokes in total (実: 8, 寿: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 実寿 as a tattoo?
Each character in 実寿 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Mithun”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ミスン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
