Questions about See in Japanese

How do you write See in Japanese?

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

What are the best kanji for See?

Our top pick is 詩 (Shi). 詩 means “poem”. Other good options are 志 (Shi) and 詞 (Shi).

Is 詩 a real Japanese name?

Yes. 詩 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Shi, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For See, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

How many strokes is 詩?

詩 has 13 strokes. That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.

Can I use 詩 as a tattoo?

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

Planning a tattoo or a print? Read the kanji tattoo checklist, and check the kanji in the name tool. Not sure which script to use? See katakana or kanji.
