Questions about Pandora in Japanese

How do you write Pandora in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Pandora?

Our top pick is 葉登良 (Hatora). 葉 means “leaf”, 登 means “ascent” and 良 means “goodness”. Other good options are 帆登良 (Hantora) and 葉斗楽 (Hatora).

Is 葉登良 a real Japanese name?

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

葉登良 has 31 strokes in total (葉: 12, 登: 12, 良: 7). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 葉登良 as a tattoo?

Each character in 葉登良 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 “Pandora”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (パンドラ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
