Questions about Edu in Japanese

How do you write Edu in Japanese?

Edu is written エドゥ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Edu 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 エドゥー (as written in Japan) and エデュ (English).

What are the best kanji for Edu?

Our top pick is 英道 (Edou). 英 means “brilliance” and 道 means “the way”. Other good options are 瑛道 (Edou) and 英土 (Edo).

Is 英道 a real Japanese name?

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

How many strokes is 英道?

英道 has 20 strokes in total (英: 8, 道: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 英道 as a tattoo?

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

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
