Questions about Kenton in Japanese

How do you write Kenton in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Kenton?

Our top pick is 賢斗 (Kento). 賢 means “wise” and 斗 means “big dipper”. Other good options are 謙斗 (Kento) and 賢桐 (Kentou).

Is 賢斗 a real Japanese name?

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

賢斗 has 20 strokes in total (賢: 16, 斗: 4). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 賢斗 as a tattoo?

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