Questions about Hunter in Japanese

How do you write Hunter in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Hunter?

Our top pick is 羽太 (Hata). 羽 means “feather” and 太 means “bold”. Other good options are 葉太 (Hata) and 葉田 (Hata).

Is 羽太 a real Japanese name?

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

羽太 has 10 strokes in total (羽: 6, 太: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 羽太 as a tattoo?

Each character in 羽太 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 “Hunter”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ハンター) 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.
