Questions about Ratu in Japanese

How do you write Ratu in Japanese?

Ratu is written ラトゥ in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Ratu 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 ラトゥー (English).

What are the best kanji for Ratu?

Our top pick is 良斗 (Rato). 良 means “goodness” and 斗 means “big dipper”. Other good options are 良登 (Rato) and 楽斗 (Rato).

Is 良斗 a real Japanese name?

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

良斗 has 11 strokes in total (良: 7, 斗: 4). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 良斗 as a tattoo?

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