How do you write Paz in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for Paz?

Our top pick is 葉鶴 (Hazu). 葉 means “leaf” and 鶴 means “crane”. Other good options are 羽鶴 (Hazu) and 葉都 (Hazu).

Is 葉鶴 a real Japanese name?

Partly. The characters 葉鶴 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Hazuru rather than Hazu. As a spelling of Paz, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

How many strokes is 葉鶴?

葉鶴 has 33 strokes in total (葉: 12, 鶴: 21). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 葉鶴 as a tattoo?

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