Questions about Mithun in Japanese

How do you write Mithun in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Mithun?

Our top pick is 弥寿 (Misu). 弥 means “ever more” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 実寿 (Misu) and 実日 (Misu).

Is 弥寿 a real Japanese name?

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

弥寿 has 15 strokes in total (弥: 8, 寿: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 弥寿 as a tattoo?

Each character in 弥寿 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 “Mithun”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ミスン) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
