Questions about Bento in Japanese

How do you write Bento in Japanese?

Bento is written ベント in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Bento would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag.

What are the best kanji for Bento?

Our top pick is 勉登 (Bento). 勉 means “effort” and 登 means “ascent”. Other good options are 勉斗 (Bento) and 勉刀 (Bento).

Is 勉登 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 勉登 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.

How many strokes is 勉登?

勉登 has 22 strokes in total (勉: 10, 登: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 勉登 as a tattoo?

Each character in 勉登 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 “Bento”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ベント) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
