Questions about Lucky in Japanese

How do you write Lucky in Japanese?

Lucky is written ラッキー in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Lucky 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 ルッキー (spelled out).

What are the best kanji for Lucky?

Our top pick is 良希 (Raki). 良 means “goodness” and 希 means “hope”. Other good options are 良祈 (Raki) and 良輝 (Raki).

Is 良希 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 良希 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Raki, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Lucky, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 良希?

良希 has 14 strokes in total (良: 7, 希: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 良希 as a tattoo?

Each character in 良希 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 “Lucky”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ラッキー) 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.
