Pepe is written ペペ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Pepe 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 ペピー (English).

What are the best kanji for Pepe?

Our top pick is 瓶平 (Heihei). 瓶 means “bottle” and 平 means “peace”. Other good options are 兵平 (Hehei) and 平瓶 (Heihei).

Is 瓶平 a real Japanese name?

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

瓶平 has 16 strokes in total (瓶: 11, 平: 5). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

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