Your Name in Japanese

If you know anything about Japanese, you may know that it has more than one alphabet. Perhaps the two most common are Kanji and Katakana (sometimes referred to as Kana). Kanji is a more artistic approach to Japanese. It is often what you will see when you see Japanese caligraphy. The name Uechi-Ryu is usually written using Kanji. Katakana on the other hand is a more formal alphabet, based on phonetics. It is usually used to formally write foreign names. The link below will take you to a web page that will allow you to see your name in Japanese Katakana. Just type your name in English in the little block, hit the button and bingo, your name in Kana. This is cool. Try it.
