Questions about Chew in Japanese

How do you write Chew in Japanese?

What are the best kanji for Chew?

Our top pick is 知平 (Chihei). 知 means “wisdom” and 平 means “peace”. Other good options are 智平 (Chihei) and 千平 (Chihei).

Is 知平 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 知平 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Tomohei rather than Chihei. As a spelling of Chew, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 知平?

知平 has 13 strokes in total (知: 8, 平: 5). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 知平 as a tattoo?

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