How do you write Ulrik in Japanese?
Ulrik is written ウーリック in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Ulrik 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 ウルリク (spelled out).

Is 羽里久 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 羽里久 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ウーリック) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
