Questions about Thor in Japanese
How do you write Thor in Japanese?
Thor is written ソー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Thor 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 トール (as written in Japan).
What are the best kanji for Thor?
Our top pick is 蒼 (Sou). 蒼 means “deep blue”. Other good options are 爽 (Sou) and 創 (Sou).
Is 蒼 a real Japanese name?
Yes. 蒼 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Sou, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Thor, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.
How many strokes is 蒼?
蒼 has 13 strokes. That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 蒼 as a tattoo?
Each character in 蒼 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 “Thor”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ソー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
