Questions about Ratu in Japanese

How do you write Ratu in Japanese?

Ratu is written ラトゥ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Ratu would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written ラトゥー (English).

What are the best kanji for Ratu?

Our top pick is 良音 (Rato). 良 means “goodness” and 音 means “sound”. Other good options are 良富 (Rato) and 良永 (Rato).

Is 良音 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 良音 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Ikuto and Rion rather than Rato. As a spelling of Ratu, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 良音?

良音 has 16 strokes in total (良: 7, 音: 9). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 良音 as a tattoo?

Each character in 良音 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 “Ratu”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ラトゥ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
