Questions about Clark in Japanese

How do you write Clark in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Clark?

Our top pick is 久良空 (Kuraku). 久 means “everlasting”, 良 means “goodness” and 空 means “sky”. Other good options are 空良久 (Kuraku) and 久楽玖 (Kuraku).

Is 久良空 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 久良空 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 久良空?

久良空 has 18 strokes in total (久: 3, 良: 7, 空: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 久良空 as a tattoo?

Each character in 久良空 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 “Clark”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (クラーク) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
